Standing on roses is a beautiful play about love and deception. I saw the play in Berlin when I was there at new year but I beleive it is touring Germany at the moment.
There is one scene in particular which is very steamy and pseudo-erotic. Ana in a blind sculptor and has arranged for Martan who is the main protagonist, and finace of Ana's best friend to come to her studio to pose for her.
The studio is set very well and Ana stands aside a very rough scukpture of the male form. She and Martan talk for a while before Ana asks him to undress. Being blind he thinks it will be ok to keep his trousers on but Ana tells him the pose is for a full body sculpture. He is very nervous but takes off his trousers and underwear, offering the whole theatre a full frontal view of his naked body.
Ana asks him to come closer and puts her hands out to feel him. As she is blind she has to view her model through touch only which results in one of the best cfnm-style nude scenes I have seen on stage. The scene last for perhaps 10-15 minutes as Ana feels Martan's body all over, it is very erotic watching her stroke at his chest and stomach before kneeling before him and feeling at his feet and legs.
There is then the very awkward moment when she asks if he is ok with her profiling his penis, to witch he replies yes. his character is obviously meant to be enjoying having Ana touch his naked body but the acotr playing Martan is either too nervous or perhaps unable in some to translate this into his character. This doesn't so much ruin the scene but I would be so much more powerful if Martan got an erection as Ana touched him.
As Ana begins to touch his penis, I think I speak for every male member of the audience when I say I was almost bent double, it was very sexy. somehow the actor just stood there allowing this beautiful actress to touch his cock but remained completely flaccid.
It is still a very powerful scene and one which I would love to perform myself, it must be very erotic to act even if you are not prepared to show yourself becoming aroused.

Mydidae
The play revolves around a couple - Marion and Dave - in a bathroom together for an hour and a half. There are 3 items of clothing present at the start, Dave in a pair of boxer shorts and Marion in a t-shirt and pair of knickers but after the first 20mins all 3 of these are discarded.
For the next hour both performers are completely nude and the interaction and dialogue between them is outstanding. They talk openly about sex and fancying people, they talk about each others bodies in the realest of terms and after preparing a bubble bath with candles and wine on hand they climb into the bath together.
The actress playing Marion is very beautiful, a classy upper middle class type with a lovely figure and nice skin tone. It's very sexy the way she caresses the naked Dave before getting in the bath then once in there she is very playful with her feet as she strokes at his face and chest with her toes. The way she moves with him in the bath is a nice touch for any man in the audience as its clear the way their bodies tanlge at times she must be getting very touchy/feely with his penis.
It must have been very exciting to perform and Dave is a brave man to stay nude for so long on stage with such an attractive woman. As i say i think a lot of men in the audience may have found the whole thing erotic and the actor playing Dave has challenged us on this by displaying his seemingly unaroused, flaccid penis. As the couple get in and out the bath on a couple of occasions for wine, phonecalls and going to the toilet! We can see despite the lovely Marions feet dancing all over him he remains soft downstairs, kudos to him on this for being so focused on the play.
It's a disappointment when the play ends abruptly but we've been treated to enough eye-candy from both performers, sadly 2 robes appear miraculously as they come to take their bows - why? I'm not sure. This play is still onin London and should be touring the UK this year.
