Exploring the transformative power of art, this collection features two plays by acclaimed playwright Terrence McNally. Full Frontal Nudity follows three American tourists profoundly affected by Michelangelo's David, while Prelude and Liebstod delves into a conductor's personal crisis during a performance of Wagner's masterpiece. Premiering in 2004 with notable actors, these works reflect on the emotional and physical impacts of beauty, echoing the experiences of Stendhal himself.
