“I saw Washington Shakespeare Company’s Macbeth last night. It was interesting, to say the least. Their concept was to do the entire show in the nude. All nude, the entire time. I have to say. . .the guy playing MacBeth. . .good looking man with a very nice penis, however, whenever he spoke, his right testicle would rise up, and when he stopped talking, it would drop. . making his whole package giggle. It was SO distracting. I couldn’t pay attention to anything else!
Also, as you can imagine in a space with little to no A/C, by the start of Act 2, a general locker room odor was permiating throughout, granted I was in the second row. . .One of the men, REALLY needs to trim as it appeared he did not have a penis at all. I really felt bad for him. And finally, one of the young skinny boys went half mast during one of the scenes, making it all worth it.

I read that the whole cast were not allowed to shave any body hair from three month before the show started. So especially the main character Macbeth played by Daniel Eichner has a quite hairy body. He has thick pubic hairs and his body is completly hairy, even his back! It is quite unusual and impressive to see such a hairy man fully nude on stage, because today most actors shave, when they have a nude scene on stage or in a movie – at least the hairs on the back. But in this play all actors look absolutly naturally. And Daniel Eichner tops all of the male actors with his amount of body hair!
A hair-raising performance indeed !
