Does anyone know if it'll be as tame and discreet in the nudity stakes as Calander Girls was?

It's been discussed a lot in this thread but it's a lot better - one of the characters gives FF nudity for a good 30 seconds

If Lydia really does take it all off would a description be possible. Bush or not? Lips visible?

The set is stark - pale white brushed planking - and the costumes match the palette. Lydia plays Rita, increasingly unhappily married to Alfred since the birth of their son, Eyolf. During a distracting bout of love-making baby Eyolf seriously (and permanently) injured his leg and is now destined for life with a crutch. Alfred returns from a sabbatical in the mountains trying to work on his book, only to announce he has determined to cast it aside in favour of spending more fatherly time with Little Eyolf, but apparently no more than the minimum with this wife...

Oh, you wanted to know what she looks like naked?

While sitting back on a chaise longue she opens her (white, naturally) dressing gown and drops it from her shoulders, revealing she is nude beneath. She's slim, with around B cup breasts and round nipples. Her bush matches her dark hair, and is trimmed into a (somewhat non-authentic nineteenth century) landing strip. She crosses her legs for most of the twenty seconds she is nude, and only stands to wrap herself up again, so her lips are not seen, but at points when she initially leans back to tease her husband you can see clearly from top to toe.

Hello Fango,

The show is mostly autographical and quite personal. Ursula tells us stories about growing up in London, her relationship with her family (something she has touched on in previous shows) and also her relationship with her partner. All the while when she is doing this she builds a wall in front until she is no longer visible. Shortly after completing the wall she steps out from in front of it naked and the wall becomes a projector screen. This is effectively the curtain call so she was on stage, full frontal, for a minute or two but then we viewed her on the screen, walking out the backstage area and exiting the theatre via steps at the back onto the South Bank which is a major tourist area of London. She then ran out of shot waving to passers by. There was a great ‘double take’ from one lady in particular who clearly wasn’t expecting to see a naked performance artist run by. To be honest I’m not entirely sure why the nudity was in the show. She did mention that she wasn’t as comfortable getting naked as she got older but to be honest the nudity, while fun, did seem slightly tacked on.

I managed to find photos from a preview of this as well as a promo image. Wish there was video!

Since she's naked during the "curtain call", would the audience be allowed or able to take photos? Does she come back in afterwards to take photos? The new run of the show will be at a different theater -- I would imagine if you knew where she'd exit the theater, you'd be able to get a photo of her when she's outside. Any ideas?

Probably because, at this point, it's practically her trademark.

I have a suspicion that the running outside part is pre-recorded. Is there any way to tell for sure?

Thanks for the description and photos!
