Forest Forge Theatre presents Nude, a new play about love and fate - written by Southampton based playwright, Paul Hewitt next Friday June 24 and Saturday June 25.

The critically acclaimed production comes to Ringwood’s Forest Forge Theatre for just three performances following its four star run at the Hope Theatre in London.

In their review London City Nights called it: 'A theatrical experience like little else on the London stage right now' whilst The Stage said: 'Charismatic performances bring heart to this exercise in emotional nakedness.'

And the critic for The Play's the Thing said:‘Nude manages to move the heart... and taps into timeless truths about love, fear and loss.'

Influenced by The Ruba’iyat of Omar Khayyam, this poem-turned play is an exploration of two people’s love for one another and how fate might play its part. Love grows and fades, nearly always involves two strangers and, like life itself, is almost entirely unexplained. Fate, here, is personified. Fate is someone we all know.

Michelle Fahrenheim plays Woman, Edward Nash plays Man and Roshni Rathore plays Fate. Nude is directed by Ian Nicholson and designed by Minglu Wang.

Nude was first commissioned by Apples & Snakes and was produced by Element Arts as a part of the SO: To Speak Festival 2015 where the play premiered in a 20ft shipping container in Southampton.

Dates: Friday 24 June at 7.30pm, Saturday 25 June at 2.30pm & 7.30pm
