Review
New York Times

Marjorie Taub, a middle-aged Upper West Side Doctor’s wife, is devoted to mornings at the  Whitney, afternoons at MOMA and evenings at BAM.  Plunged into a mid-life crisis of Medea-like proportions, she’s shaken out of her lethargy by the reappearance of a fascinating and somewhat mysterious childhood friend.

“Uproarious, “The Allergist’s Wife” earns its wall-to-wall laughs.” “Mr. Busch has swum straight into the mainstream and stays comfortably afloat there.” 
          Ben Brantley, New York Times

“An intelligently funny and satirically relevant uptown comedy.” John Simon, New York Magazine
“Charles Busch comes of age as a comic playwright of the first rank.”  
          New York Daily News
