About Bacchanalia
Nude is a solo play by Bacchanalia about desire, fantasy and the seductive idea that being seen is the same as being empowered. Clara has a plan involving a life drawing class, her favourite lecturer and stripping naked in front of a room full of strangers. What could go wrong? Quite a lot, it turns out. Described as funny and devastating, the play explores the gap between fantasy and reality when it comes to visibility and power. Running for 50 minutes at Space 2, the show is suitable for ages 16 and over and carries warnings for distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A solo play that is genuinely funny and genuinely devastating in equal measure — Clara's plan to be seen on her own terms unravels in ways that feel both absurd and painfully recognisable. New writing with something real to say.
