An award-winning hit at the Manhattan Theatre Club and on Broadway,
The Tale of the Allergist's Wife Marjorie Taub, the wife of a philanthropic allergist, is engulfed in a life crisis of Media-like proportions. Her children are grown, her beloved therapist died recently and her bowel obsessed mother incessantly needles her. Her spirits suddenly soar when a fascinating and incredibly worldly friend from her childhood appears on her doorstep. Lee the savior that infuses Marjorie with life becomes Lee the unwelcome and sinister guest in short order. Winner of the Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award and nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. "A window rattling comedy of mid life malaise.... Mr. Busch has swum straight into the mainstream.... The Allergist's Wife earns its wall to wall laughs." N.Y. Times. "An intelligently funny and satirically relevant uptown comedy." N.Y. Magazine.
