The winner of Oslo Fringe’s Funniest Moment Award 2021
NAUGHTY
by Anna Marie Simonsen
From the director of “divinely silly” London hit (★★★★To Do List) 'Forbruker’.
‘You look 15, but I like that. I like women that look young’.
An electric, one-woman comedy exploring sexualisation of young girls and infantilisation of women. A power game between the patriarchy and a six-year-old girl in pink crocs. Pushing the boundaries of the male gaze, Naughty confronts the disturbing image of innocence and youth as sexy.
Naughty is powered by the Pleasance Fringe Futures & supported by Arts Council Norway through Anna Marie’s Goverment Grant for artists.
Directed by Frankie Thompson. Sound by Helena Almeida. Tech operators Eloina Haines and Sara Segovia
“it is packed full of laughter – much of it nervous – as it unabashedly plays the male gaze at its own game. Naughty is just that. It’s also hilarious and slightly unsettling. But its disturbance is well-placed: it reflects the male gaze back at itself.”
