I'd love to see such a play, but having to remain clothed would make the experience less amazing for me.
Many folks might just come to gawk, and they love to stay clothed, so having the audience as nude would be good. The gawkers would think twice or thrice before doing that, making the entire experience better. Also for the performers, I think, but I can't speak for them.
I think it would be a good thing, either with or without the naturist aspect. It would help in showing the nude body is not sexual in a play. After all, it should be about the story, not the skin.
These are my 3 cents (due to inflation) and there's no money back.
Personally, I think it's a great idea to put on a play where every day people (as opposed to augmented porn stars) are nude and they're acting as if it's perfectly natural, which it is. I'd love to attend, and while I'd have no problem being part of an audience that's nude, the only drawback is the likelihood of a lot of textiles would refuse to even think about attending. Let's face it; we're not a large enough segment of the population to financially support a theater production on our own.
My last thought is that it would be a great opportunity to introduce friends or relatives to allay their (spoken or unspoken) fears that being a nudist is only an excuse to attend weekend long orgies.
I SO WISH I COULD GO. What would it take for the producers of this play to have it filmed and then sold to the rest of us who would love to see it, but cant go to Australia? It could be a money maker for the production company or whoever owns the rights to the play.
I remember back in the 1970s writing an editorial to my local newspaper titled "Cure for the Common Cold". My wife and I had gone to see the stage play "Equus". Throughout the show there had been a low level of sneezes, coughs, throat clearing, and general movement among the large audience. It is an intense drama. However, during the scene of full nudity with both the male and female lead, the house was silent. You could hear a pin drop. It was just a behavioral observation about how the nudity on stage had focused every attendees' attention to what was taking place. It was a key point in the play and also when there was male and female nudity in the spotlight. It is great to hear about a new play that works to normalize the human form.
I believe in creating a clothing optional world. The apartheid textile directive, even though I would probably remain clothed as a free choice, would bother me too much to attend.
I would be OK with naked if the temperature was comfortably warm and undressing and stashing clothes was secure.
Then there was the Puppetry of the Penis Australian traveling comedy group from mid 1990's into 2010's. Performed in a lot of countries and grossed $50 million. The two doing male genital origami were full naked. As I recall they sometime called for audience guys individual participation on stage. I think they had enough controversy without general audience nudity, although they did do private parties!
I would absolutely attend this play, or produce or act in it. I always look for plays such as “Equus” where nudity is employed effectively and appropriate to the script. I have an online friend (goes by “Naked Playwright”) who has offered to write a script for me where I might play a nude character. That’s a bucket list item for me, for sure!
I’d be fine sitting in a textile audience, though nude would be a better opportunity.

Yes , could have a clothes check like theaters have a coat check
I reckon there must be enough Australians on the PN mailing list to kick in a few $ each and pay for Evan to attend in person!
😂🙏
Quick, start a GFM
