Who needs onstage nudity? There's nothing like a sexy metaphor

guardian.co.uk: "I'm really looking forward to seeing Spring Awakening, which opens tomorrow at the Lyric Hammersmith, but I'm a mite worried about the sex. Not in the way that Wendla and Melchior's parents might be worried in Frank Wedekind's brilliant original 1891 tragedy, a play about adolescent sexual desire that proves that ignorance really does kill. No, I'm worried because, let's face it, sex on stage is often a toe-curling embarrassment for audiences."
