Exeunt
Laura is sitting naked in a tinfoil-covered chair on the moon. Welcome to a very unusual package holiday, where Laura's body has decided to take a break from her exhausting brain. All she wants is to bathe in the light of the earth, and not have too many bright ideas. But the peace of the trip is disturbed by when we discover her mind has stowed away in her suitcase.
A humourous and touching trip that wonders what, exactly, nature intended. Contains stories of nudity, and actual nudity. May also contain pineapple.
What does it feel like?
It's an intimate, unpretentious show, set on three sides. The show is about nakedness - not stripping, or burlesque, or confrontational nakedness, but the kind your partner sees sometimes: the kind when you are bent double fumbling with extension leads; the awkward kind; the natural state.
What happens?
The play has two modes: Laura telling stories about nakedness (mostly from university in Leeds), and Laura having an argument with a stereo.
In the middle, the audience are asked if they want to take their kit off and stand in some large buckets, and then the whole assembled company plays volleyball with beachballs to a loud rock soundtrack. You might not think they would, but the buckets have been full ever since I started performing this show. Frankly, performing the show is worth it for that moment alone.
