That does seem cool! Though would be nice if the audience was nude too, so they don't feel the nudity is a spectacle. From the article, it'd help with the audience feeling the vulnerability of being threatened by climate change.

Agreed. I know that when there was a nude play in California a couple years ago there were nude audiences. I agree with your whole "not making it a spectacle" point a lot. I think that the story would make much more of an impact if the audience was nude because their not concentrated on the nudity and more so the plot and message.
Are you cool if I take my clothes off?

@Hope Puffin , @Uncovered   -  Those are GREAT points that I didn't even think about!

true the theatre company was probably worried about selling enough seats if they required the audience to be nude - it would be awesome if they had one showing though where the audience could go nude and socialise afterwards
