The Seven Year Itch

The Seven Year Itch $13

George Axelrod

Published by Dramatists Play Service

6 Male 5 Female

Richard Sherman roams restlessly around his empty apartment, bemoaning the fact that his wife of seven years, and their son, have just walked out on him

Then, without warning, a gigantic flower pot tumbles down from an overhead balcony, nearly putting him permanently out of his misery. The jarring event has a strange effect on Richard

He now sees his marriage as wasted time and feels it necessary to exercise his libido as quickly as possible. Suddenly reborn, he invites the delectable doll who lives on the floor above down for an evening of temptation

The night doesn't quite go the way he thought it would, as morality and guilt sneak into his head. In his conscience- literally following him about the apartment-a soul-struggle of heroic and hilarious proportions ensues

One of the theater's biggest comedy hits

"Mr. Axelrod's play is original and funny " - NY Times

" a grand and goofy comedy a lot of delightful nonsense" - NY News
