many other plays including The Lion in Winter, The Substance of Fire,

Fortunato of the Rochester City Newspaper said of the play The
Underpants, "Maury Ginsberg's neurotic, nearly Woody Allen-esque
portrayal of Cohen, a hypochondriac geek with spastic tendencies, is
the standout. One can't help but feel for this socially backwards
introvert while at the same time hating him for preventing Louise from
reaching sexual satisfaction with Versati."
