Tickets have gone on sale for “The Tale of The Allergist’s Wife,” a slightly warped domestic comedy written by New York playwright Charles Busch, which opens at Theatre Palisades on Nov. 4.

The award-winning play, which opened off-Broadway in 2000, tells the story of a Manhattan doctor’s wife named Marjorie Taub, who is beset by a midlife crisis.
This causes chaos for her loving but self-involved husband, Ira, her acerbic, eternally constipated Jewish mother Frieda, and Mohammed, the building’s doorman and Marjorie’s only friend, who loves to discuss art and literature—especially the novel “Siddhartha.”
Their lives are further confused by the arrival of a mysterious, worldly and seductive Lee Green, claiming to be Marjorie’s long lost childhood friend—or is she? The play, directed by Ria Parody Erlich, runs until Dec. 11. For more information, visit theatrepalisades.com.
