I sat there taking flashless B&W photos, much to the chagrin of my girlfriend, who sat beside me. My girlfriend was a photography student

The latter was a strange one. Think it had an Italian title. I remember it was described in advertising and the press as 'shocking'. This was in the early 'Naughties" in Melbourne.
It involved total nudity and simulated? sex acts. At one stage they even asked for participants from the audience, one of which was an attractive woman.
Whether she was 'planted' in the audience or not, I don't know?

Later they had a question and answer session.
I remember one of the first questions being, "Why has that guy got a fake penis?"

I've only seen a few other conventional plays. I find it altogether an interesting medium, even the mainstream 'ish' ones.
Do you still have the photos? It would be interesting to compare them with the recent revival of Equus starring Daniel Radcliffe and a succession of attractive co-stars
