AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In 2013 Maude Davey ‘retired’ her nude acts with this powerful and beautiful retrospective. She said it was the last time but, after an overwhelming response here she is, back in the nude again!

'“I laughed, I cried, I trembled, I ached – sublime!”

'A burlesque dissection of Maude’s un-clothed career, My Life in the Nude is a celebration of the corporeal, a queer history lesson and an urgent affirmation of shared humanity all rolled up into two unmissable hours of brutally honest cabaret.' (Production summary)
