So, I'm wondering if they dropped the nude scene? Having seen a previous production it's brief and not essential. Could equally be performed in lingerie.
From seeing the original staging of Hitchcock Blonde with Rosamund Pike there's no way to do the story without substantial full nudity (in one scene), however. Though, recent productions of Equus seem to go either way with the female lead.

Yes I have been to see After Miss Julie, you are right between booking and seeing the content warnings did change they took away the nudity part and added scenes of a sexual nature and I can confirm there was no nudity in it where the nudity would have been the two actors left the stage and the scene was implied. Forgetting there was no nudity this was a really good play, well acting in an intimate venue, the stage was the floor with two rows of chairs all the way round so you got to see all angles wherever you sat, if you like well acted theatre this is well worth a watch.
I also got to see Sabrage as was in London for a couple of days, this again was a little disappointing on the nudity front but not on the entertainment side an hilarious night. The cast was made up of 5 men and 3 women, two comperes with aerial acrobatics, foot juggling, roller skating and a singer, the nudity unfortunately was the two male comperes who were fully nude on a couple of occasions, as for the females there was a towel dance at the start of act two where the whole cast minus one of the women, the dance started with the cast coming onto the stage from different angles wrapped in towels then opening them from the side to show everyone that they were nude then they moved into position and removed the towel so they only covered the front of them before doing different acts of folding the towels smaller at one point they left the towels on the floor and moved to the next one but in a way they were covered by the position of their bodies then they all did a different pose still managing to keep the towels so nothing was seen, we were in the balcony with a side view which turned out to be a good choice as when they were folding the towels and moving around the stage covering themselves from the front we got a great view of the two women backside, at one point the women went to the back of the stage to put their towels back on and you got a glimpse of side boob but that was it, if you were on the front rows downstairs I'm not sure how much you would have seen but from where I was it looked like they kept themselves covered pretty well, one of the women did do a striptease where she went topless but when she removed her bra she had her back to the audience and was at the back of the stage so nothing was seen. Most of the night the women were in skimpy clothing and I did get a video of the final act but not sure if I can post it on here, you were allowed to film but not when there was nudity and the security came out everytime there was checking the audience,
