TRUE NAKEDNESS / crime comedy / play

A crime comedy in two parts worthy of a thriller, “True Nakedness,” where tension intertwines with sharp humor and unexpected twists. The play is by the outstanding contemporary French playwright Sébastien Thiéry. In France, the play was nominated for the prestigious Molière Award.

A distinguished lawyer experiences a completely unexpected and highly awkward morning - he wakes up at home, naked in bed beside his colleague. No one has any idea how this happened, what they did, or why the situation is so absurd. When the lawyer’s wife suddenly arrives as well, attempts to save his reputation and find a logical explanation turn into a chain of witty misunderstandings, and what seems like an innocent farce develops into a brilliant absurdist comedy.

The director of the production, Intars Rešetins-Pētersons, reveals: “The greatest dramas do not come from facts, but from interpretations and fears; at the moment when social roles collapse, the truth is revealed, and it can be painful - and sometimes very funny.”
