Stripped @Kings Head Theatre

Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them. Ollie is a self-proclaimed Beta Male. Hes into ultimate frisbee, vegan barbecues and playing the Hamilton soundtrack on repeat. When he volunteers to model nude for an artist, hes hell bent on showing her just how woke he is. Lola doesnt care if Ollie is a nice guy or not - she just wants to draw him. When he wont let her get on with it, she decides to teach him a lesson. Soon, Ollie starts asking if he can have his clothes back but Lola is far from finished. Stripped is a tense comic drama that asks whether those nice guys are really all that they seem. Directed by Max Elton and written by Hew Rous-Eyre, Bitter Pill are the company behind the Kings Head Theatre's hit Big Brother Blitzkrieg.
