A masterpiece of comic clockwork, raucously funny! - The Wall Street Journal

A smash hit Off-Broadway, The Understudy is the latest comedy from one of the most produced female playwrights in America.  

When a Hollywood action star lands a prestigious role in Franz Kafka's newly discovered play on Broadway, things couldn't be better...until he meets his understudy.  

Spirited and laugh-out-loud funny, The Understudy places the backstage friction of a frenzied rehearsal center stage with vivacious satire and Kafkaesque theatrics.
