 Underground, Smokin', with Anne Meara
Meara is in rehearsal as an actor in her own play, "After-Play," which opens at George Street this Wednesday, September 23.
Meara delivered a play that not only pays homage to the mysterious and mystical styles of two of her favorite playwrights, A. Gurney and John Guare, but also constitutes an entertaining and thought-provoking play about deepening relationships.
Framed with a wealth of humorously considered insights, Meara's play, about two middle-aged couples who meet for drinks and dinner after the theater, is notable for the compassion we feel for four charmingly flawed human beings, each of whom appear to be in the midst of finding his and her best way through life.

 Playbill News: PLAYBILL ON-LINE'S BRIEF ENCOUNTER with Anne Meara
The play is a flight of fancy, an examination of what might happen if one single, albeit crucial, event in the life of a family, had occurred in different ways, and how that would affect the entire history of that family unit.
Of course, Meara, 71— a success for years in Stiller and Meara the marriage (47 years and counting), Stiller and Meara the comedy team, herself as an actress ("Archie Bunker's Place," Anna Christie), and, in later life, as a playwright, (After-Play)—has little in common with the Garden family, their surface success and festering resentments.
Still, Meara, who lost her mother at age eleven and has coped with the vagaries of show business for half a century, can understand the phrase "there but for the grace of God" — though, after so many years with her husband, she might be prone to say it in Yiddish.
