Book Synopsis

Love is just fear I suppose. Masquerading as a fever. Then you explore each other and suddenly you have licence to become totally pedestrian. And ultimately abusive.

The first original play by a living female playwright to be performed on the National Theatre''s main stage.

London, 1913. The Suffragette Movement is at its height. Thousands of women of all classes serve time in Holloway Prison in their fight to gain the vote. Amongst them is Lady Celia Cain, shackled by both the policies of the day and a frustrating marriage. Inside, she meets a young seamstress, Eve Douglas, and her life spirals into an erotic but dangerous chaos.

Her Naked Skin premiered at the National Theatre, London, 2008.

''Rebecca Lenkiewicz''s outstanding play is a remarkable testament to the courage of a band of sisters who were vilified and viciously repressed in their quest for representation and emancipation . . . Her Naked Skin marries epic public
