There is so...I couldn't agree more, absolutely. There is something about nudity and violence (both things, by the way, that I like, probably way too much, in film) that can really ruin live theater. *Especially* on the level of independent low-pay theater, where I not only realize that I'm looking at an actor's body, but that he/she wasn't even paid very well to be naked.<br /><br />Even worse than *bad* stage combat (which has its own problems) is really *good* stage combat, where I worry that the actor was actually punched in the face.<br /><br />It's impossible for us to produce scripts and circumnavigate these things entirely, but it is really, really tricky to do them wellSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987734997961917202noreply@blogger.com
