Description of Work Often I Find That I Am Naked is a rich, blackly funny piece by Australian playwright Fiona Sprott. The work sits within the romantic comedy genres and reflects stories from popular culture such as Sex and the City and Bridget Jones , as it takes a comic and brutal look at single life for an Australian woman.
Stylistically a cabaret-theatre piece, Naked features live music alongside comedy and drama to present the best of Australian performing arts. It is a highly energetic and entertaining piece with major appeal for the general public.
These days there are so many tools available for the single woman: speed dating, Facebook, text sex, RSVP, a private detective, STD clinics, rehab…all possible avenues to meet Mr Right! The question is just how many Mr Wrongs make a Right?
Join Jezebel on her dismal quest for love, share a cock(tale) or two and pick up some handy dating tips. A black comedy for anyone who has ever dreamt of perfect love but woken up, hung over and naked in a stranger’s bed… or bathtub…
Rated: MA 15+ - adult themes, strong language, partial nudity
“It works…due to impeccable delivery and undeniable humour. Thomas looks comfortable in the twisted realm of Jezebel’s sense of humour. She struts across the stage…
The set is beautifully designed and creates a sensual atmosphere… Tom Raymond’s musical accompaniment provides an artist interpretation of some well-known songs. His contribution is essential.
Sam Clark does a phenomenal job as Jezebel’s many ‘hims’...(and) never has a man played a better dog.”
Scene Magazine Reviewer, Adrienne Marrone Scene Magazine, August 2009
The premiere season of the work played to capacity houses for a four-show season at the Judith Wright Centre. The response to the show was overwhelmingly positive from both audiences and critics alike.
