'I like a nice ass', says one man - naked apart from a red boxing helmet. 'When I come it's like a river', explains his friend in drag. Billed as a 'collage piece' by David Mamet, Sam Shephard and others, this production attempts a synthesis of several approaches to sex and sexuality. The result is a intellectual take on the traditional naughty revue, reminiscent of Kenneth Tynan's 'Oh! Calcutta'. Based in this superbly refurbished theatre, the French and Anglophone Actors' Group aims to offer bilingual productions of English language theatre. Potentially funny and sexy, 'Whores' takes itself far too seriously to be either; copious nudity and camp goings-on can't distract from overall leaden repetitiveness. (In English.)
