About this show
'No, but how funny would it be though? Like, he turns up, and it’s just me – with my tits out. His model student.' Clara has a plan. It involves a life drawing class, her favourite lecturer and stripping naked in front of a room full of strangers. What could go wrong? A lot, it turns out. Funny and devastating, Nude is a solo play about desire, fantasy and the seductive idea that being seen is the same as being empowered.

Superb writing and a stunning solo performance.
In this cleverly crafted piece, Nude dives headfirst into the complexities of the male gaze, nodding to Mulvey’s old‑school film theory but making it feel fresh, lived‑in, and painfully personal.
