Live Nude Shakespeare

Synopsis
Feature film. Soft porn movie in which showgirls recite Shakespeare soliloquies while performing their striptease act in front of pipe-smoking, highbrow Waldorf Emerson-Biggins who ogles the girls while pretending to deny the erotic pleasure of what he says is an ‘avant garde’ production. The film includes ‘readings’ from Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Timon of Athens, Othello and The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Notes

Reviews
`In addition to presenting a number of very hot looking young women, the film is a clever, entertaining send-up of academics on Shakespeare’, Richard Burt, Unspeakable Shaxxspeares. (IMDb posting September 11 1999). ‘An ecclectic blend of Hamlet and Showgirls’ (IMBd commentator, July 1, 2000).
