Ironically, the title Stark Bollock Naked leaves everything to the imagination. But we recommend leaving your thoughts at the door when entering this innovative, multimedia theatre piece which gives women’s reproductive shelf-life a medical-grade dissection. The use of ingenious projections lifts Larisa Faber’s already strong written material, while tactile props, including tampon bunches, forceps, petri dishes and a speculum, are absurdly incorporated by her co-star to add texture and depth. 

Tracking Faber’s personal gynaecological journey after she hit 30, this show covers themes of bodily autonomy, abortion access, societal gender roles, and women’s internal dialogues around all of the above. Although the script occasionally struggles to find a tonal balance between serious and utterly bonkers, the choice of visual symbols used in projections are original and effective (bar one overdone sequence of chickens’ eggs). But it’s the slick physical back and forth between actors that keeps this show utterly captivating. 

Stark Bollock Naked, Assembly Roxy, until 28 August, 3.10pm.
