Edinburgh - no actual nudity
The warnings at the Edinburgh Fringe for nudity seem sometimes to be simple lies. I saw a lot of shows this year at the fringe, many very good and plenty with a degree of nudity. However I recommend anyone using this as a guide you avoid:
Bait: Kill the Princess - Strange & no nudity whatsoever
Drawn and Quartered - Frustrating, the classic case where the story was such that there should have been
Heroin(e) for Breakfast -Excellent hard hitting play but no actual nudity
Jewbana- Trade descriptions act that was not even close to any nudity. 2 layers covered throughout.
Josephine - Topless but wears nipple covers
Laser Kiwi - Brief male only sort of nudity. Fun if mad show
Smoke -Excellent play. Highly charged sex wise but no nudity
The Five-Thirty Cabaret -Awful
Twin Peaks - Difficult watch. Tassels only
Wild Swimming - OK play but no actual nudity whatsoever
I'm sure some of these shows say nudity just to get us to go & see their shows!
Its a shame because it probably meant missing far more worthy productions.
