More London stage nudity to report.
‘Mydidae’ as reported previously at the Soho Theatre has returned for a short run at the Trafalgar Studios just of Trafalgar square.
There is spectacular nudity at ‘In the beginning was the end’ at Somerset House on the Strand. This is not a normal theatre setting but a ‘promenade’ production round and under the building. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like if you were in the office and everyone took all their clothes off this is your chance to find out. Actually for my office it would be pretty horrific but luckily this office had a young and attractive team on the night I visited. There are plenty of other good things including some less than useful robots, one really massive robot, dark basements, goldfish, a man with a lemon and a splendid array of late seventies and early eighties electronic test equipment. In fact pretty much all you need for a really good night out. If you do get a ticket make sure you stay on the spiral staircase for at least one cycle of the nudity.
Getting rave reviews at the Hammersmith Riverside Studios is ‘Mies Julie’. This is a South African version of August Strindberg’s ‘Miss Julie’. The website warns “strong adult themes and nudity”. I’m wondering if anyone has seen this either at the run in Edinburgh, New York or elsewhere and can advise on the nudity. I’ve seen straight versions of ‘Miss Julie’ and other updates but never really enjoyed them so was wondering whether it was worth investing in a ticket.
