Naked Girls Reading Bring UNDER THE INFLUENCE to the Alexander Bar's Upstairs Theatre

Live nude reading is back at the Alexander Bar's Upstairs Theatre this May with the Cape Town chapter of Naked Girls Reading presenting their new show, UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Produced by Kelly Smith, UNDER THE INFLUENCE will see Charlie French, Penny Wise, Vita Nova and Nubia D'Arc in 75 minutes of readings about wine, women, song and everything that intoxicates us.

Naked Girls Read­ing is a nude lit­er­ary salon that takes place in twenty cities around the world and on five dif­fer­ent con­ti­nents. At each event, a small cast of beau­ti­ful ladies remove their cloth­ing and read per­sonal selec­tions to an ador­ing audi­ence. It is perpetually enter­tain­ing, frequently magi­cal, often funny, some­times heart-wrench­ing - and always very sexy. There is some­thing beau­ti­ful in the simple and intimate act of a woman read­ing in the nude.

The Cape Town chapter has been described as a performance art sensation, with the movement having been founded in Chicago in March 2009 by inter­na­tional show­girl Michelle L'Amour and her hus­band, Franky Vivid.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE runs at the Alexander Bar's Upstairs Theatre on 25 and 26 May at 21:00, with tickets costing R130 - R160. Bookings can be made online at the Alexander Bar website or purchased at the bar. For telephone bookings and enquiries, call 021 300 1652. Alexander Bar & Café is situated at 76 Strand Street in the Cape Town city centre and can be followed onFacebook and Twitter.
