''Don't Drink the Water'' is a play written by Woody Allen that premiered on Broadway on November 17, 1966, and played for 598 performances at three different Broadway theaters. The farce takes place inside an American Embassy behind the Iron Curtain. Although Allen contributed material for the 1960 Broadway musical revue ''From A to Z'', this was his first professionally produced play. The play was described as being "near the hit line", "one big overfed American folk joke" and "a very funny situation comedy" by critic Otis L. Guernsey. In 1969 the play was adapted into the film ''Don't Drink the Water''. It starred Jackie Gleason. In 1994 Allen directed and played the lead in a TV version also titled ''Don't Drink the Water'' featuring Michael J. Fox. ==Broadway cast and crew== The cast included Lou Jacobi, Kay Medford and Anita Gillette as the Hollander family. Tony Roberts and Donna Mills were also in the cast.〔 Richard Libertini also appeared, as Father Drobney, and reprised the role in the 1969 film. According to the book ''Conversations with Woody Allen'' by Eric Lax, Allen says that Vivian Vance, who he thought was wrong for the part, was originally cast but was replaced by Kay Medford, who he believes brought the character to life. The production was directed by Stanley Prager and produced by David Merrick with Charles H. Joffe and Jack Rollins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don't Drink the Water (play)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
