    • 27/04/2009 - 02/05/2009 The Naked Truth

      Tailor-made for women, The Naked Truth, is the next unmissable Comedy Play from Dave Simpson, the writer of the hit comedy Girls Night Out. Set in a pole dancing class (the latest get-fit craze) The Naked Truth is a brilliantly funny play about sisterhood. A top class cast teams up stars from Stage and Screen; including Lisa Riley (the larger than life star of Emmerdale & Fat Friends). It’s a women thing, as five very different women struggle hilariously to conquer pole dancing for a Charity event to raise awareness and money for breast cancer. As their stories unfold and unravel, they share laughter and tears in this hilariously, sad and ultimately moving play. The Naked Truth is a poignant and uplifting comedy, a call to all women and celebrating strength through adversity. It’s a Show for women, about women, that men absolutely must see (if they dare!)
