‘Nana’s Naughty Knickers’ at Adelaide Rep.
This August at The Arts Theatre, Adelaide, The Rep is presenting Nana’s Naughty Knickers by Katherine DiSavino, a comedy set in a New York City rent-controlled apartment. The play follows the escapades of Sylvia, a kindly grandmother with a top-secret hobby.
Bridget and her grandmother are about to become roommates. What Bridget a future law student thought would be a unique opportunity to spend the summer with her favourite Nana quickly turns into an unforgettable experience. Her sweet Grandma is running an illegal lingerie boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area!
Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement?
Will her Nana get arrested—or worse—evicted?
The Rep promises that audiences can expect a hearty, laugh-out-loud-great time.
“I saw a production of this play over 10 years ago and promptly fell in love with it!”, explains director Barry Hill. “It explores the notion that senior citizens can still enjoy behaving as if they are young adults and enjoy life! It is a joyful celebration of family relationships, friendship, and, of course, racy underwear for the discerning older adult with just a touch of kink!”
