...first act contains a lynching, a throat cutting and assorted acts of bloody roughhouse. It also features three Celts bounding around the vast stage of the Olivier Theater in nothing but their birthday suits and some anachronistic Rod Stewart haircuts. Frontal nudity in the National Theater is like a flasher in a cathedral. Worse follows: the slaughter of two of the Celts by a squad of Roman invaders and the sodomizing of a third. This sight encouraged the leader of the Greater London Council, Sir Horace Cutler, to send down telegraphic thunderbolts about the renewal of the National...

Well...How about some Alex Harvey for those of you enamoured of rock stars who sing Tom Jo nes' "Delilah" looking like a decadently deranged schoolboy in holey rugby shirt?
