St. Ann’s Warehouse presents
the Schaubühne Berlin production of
History of Violence
By Édouard Louis
Adapted by Thomas Ostermeier, Florian Borchmeyer and Édouard Louis
Directed by Thomas Ostermeier
AMERICAN PREMIERE
NOV 13 – DEC 1, 2019
Tickets start at $35
This November, director Thomas Ostermeier and Schaubühne Berlin return to St. Ann’s Warehouse with Édouard Louis’ stunning autobiographical novel History of Violence. Through the fractured recall of Édouard, his sister, police, and doctors, the “brave and ambitious” (The Guardian) book and play reconstruct the trauma of a desire-filled encounter turned violent. A layered retelling that is both devastating and funny, the production uncovers deeply rooted societal racism, homophobia, and rage unbridled under obscure, repressive power structures until all that remains is a nuanced, closely guarded memory.
Run Time: 2 Hours, No Intermission.
Performed in German with English Supertitles.
Nudity and sexual situations.
Recommended for ages 16+
MALE NUDITY in NEW YORK STAGE 
Is there any way we can check comments now without physically going to each post and seeing if there are new comments? The previous version of the site allowed this and I found it quite valuable. Thanks,.
Done. It’s at the bottom of the page
Thank you so very much!!!

There are some pictures from Berlin. There will be full frontal nudity by Christoph Gawenda. He’s very hairy 🙂 and Laurenz Laufenberg who is blonde and has also a nice hairy chest and bushy blonde pubes. Enjoy!
Two upcoming plays that might be worth a look.
The first mentions brief nudity on the poster and is called Second Chance, playing three nights only at the Hudson Guild. Since the play is about a gay couple, I assume the nudity is male. The first performance is tomorrow.
The other show is called Animal Husbandry and is part of the NY Fringe festival, which apparently is returning this year. The play is also about a gay couple in a “daddy/son” type of relationship and the news release about it mentioned nudity. Playing several dates throughout October.
Anyone see History of Violence? And can report back?
