Performance Art sensation Naked Girls Reading will present QUEERLY BELOVED at the Alexander Upstairs Theatre as a part of the Cape Town Fringe. Directed by Kelly Smith, the 75-minute show will feature Charlie French, Cherry Lesque, Lyricnotic and Velvet Ni delivering queer-themed readings in a production dedicated to queer authors and LGBTQI stories. 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 women remove their clothing and read out loud to an adoring audience. It is 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.
