Well obviously we won't count the CALENDAR GIRLS people and DANIEL RADLIFFE and the various stars of THE GRADUATE as they're all pretty obvious. So...

MICHAEL BALL in Passion (bottom in opening scene)

EMMA WILLIAMS in ZORRO (bottom- unnecessary)

KELLY REILLY in Piano/Forte and Sexual Perversity in Chicago (topless, pointlessly in both I thought)

MATT SMITH in That Face (bottom - unnecessary)

RUPERT PENRY-JONES in The Play About the Baby at Almeida (he wasn't famous then)

NIGEL HARMAN and JAMES MacAVOY in Privates on Parade

ANTHONY CALF and others in My Night with Reg

That's enough to be going on with....! Interesting to note how many times one notices nudity or partial nudity because it is so unnecessary for the show concerned.

I think your repeated use of the word 'unnecessary' pretty much sums up this thread... or is that just me?!
whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

Nope, not just you.


Edited to add: I suppose there might be a topic in there somewhere about how nudity is unnecessary to the performance, but I am currently in a generous mood.

Oh come on, quite funny though, and no more pointless than Famous People in the Audience.

Rupert Penry-Jones, wasn't he lush?

Unintentionally, Alan Rickman during a quick change in the West End production of Private Lives a few years back. The blacks at the side of the stage were caught up in something, giving those of us sitting stage left in the stalls an uninterrupted view of his naked rear!

It's not my second ever; I used to be on the whole time but forgot my login so have started again.

And WOW it's amazing how many people choose to contribute vitriol and contempt. I thought those days surely had gone.

Chip in or don't- fine. Just thought it was an amusing or interesting topic that's all.

I am interested in the demographics of this board - may I ask if you are a teenager?
