this is a silly question, i know, but it begs to be asked - on the Theatremania info page for "Tryst" it says the play contains nudity and is not for children under 17 - so who gets naked?

(please tell me it is Maxwell Caulfield...please...please)

Nope. Just her. He just takes off his shirt.

Did anyone else find the nudity to be gratuitous? I had not read about it in advance, so I was not expecting it. When it happened, I found it to be more of a distraction than anything else. Did some of you think it actually contributed to George's monologue? Curious as to your thoughts. It was an interesting play.

Both bodies are far too toned and chiseled to be believable in an Edwardian English setting. Especially given their roles--a frumpy seamstress and a middle-aged man not performing any physical labor.
It spoils the precarious mood which they've tried to cast.

if it was Max, I would have skipped a few days at college to go down there. I first saw him in Grease 2. I know, not the best sequel, but so cute and he is so handsome! and so British!!!! love him!

Oh, Grease 2. My biggest guilty pleausure. Whenever I'm feeling down, I pop it in. There's nothing that a little "Reproduction" and "A Girl For All Seasons" can't cure.

How are Max's acting chops in this? I haven't seen him in anything other than Grease 2...

he was okay in "All My Children".

and while i too enjoy "Grease 2" as a natural upper it's "Let's Do It For Our Country", "Reproduction" and "Cool Rider" that always do it for me.

"Cool Rider," "Who's That Guy?" "Score Tonight," "Reproduction," and "Charades" do it for me. When I first saw this movie, it was on TV in England and they had cut out Reproductin for obvious reasons. It was only when i bought it that I saw that scene. Made me laugh so much!

is it bad that I think this one is better than Grease?

when I heard that, I thought they were crazy. And that John Travolta would be helping with it. glad that didn't happen.
