Mark’s plan to spend a relaxing, solitary day in the sand and sun takes a turn when he randomly meets Sydney, another single American beach-goer on a French nude beach. All pretenses are stripped away as Sydney and Mark expose their own reasons for vacationing alone, baring the traumatic events that have brought them both to this chance encounter.

The Naked Play
by Jef Petersen
“
I've seen this play done twice now and each time I got something joyously new from it. Jef has written a play that puts these characters on display to not only reveal themselves, but to explore vulnerability in a whole new way. A truly simple yet complex play that asks a lot of important questions about life and loss. Highly recommend this one!
