It will also be livestreamed on 23rd and 24th September.

This play is about the illegal relationship between a black man and a white woman in Apartheid-era South Africa, and takes place over the course of an evening as the two discuss life and love on the floor of a library, where they have just had sex. Because of the post-coital nature of the discussion, both actors are completely naked throughout the piece.

The degree of nudity that ends up being shown depends greatly on the production (there is a blanket that gets passed around and there's a lot of covering up and fumbling with clothes when they are *spoilers* discovered - you're almost invariably guaranteed some full-frontal though, as I understand it), and the stage directions explicitly call for the room to be very dimly lit (although there is harsh lighting in one lengthy scene later on) - plus no cast has been announced for it just yet. Still, this is definitely going to be a production to keep an eye out for.

The cast has been announced hxxps://orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/statements-after-an-arrest-under-the-immorality-act/about but the content warning doesn't say anything about nudity so maybe not what we were hoping for?
