In 2008, history was written at The National Theatre, London. HER NAKED SKIN became the first play by a female playwright to be performed on the largest scene in the theatre (The Olivier Theatre). The play is about women’s fight for the right to vote, and begins with the suicide of a female activist in 1913 and ends as the First World War breaks out. The story centers on an erotic and chaotic affair between two fictive women – one from the upper-class and one from the lower classes.
”4 STARS - Lenkiewicz explores the hunger for political and personal emancipation that fuelled the suffragette movement […] her play colonises this with bravura confidence.” – The Guardian
