Set in London in 1913, this electric new play centers on two courageous women fighting to gain the right to vote—one a renegade married aristocrat, another a young Cockney seamstress. After meeting behind prison walls, they embark on a dangerous journey of self-discovery—but just how far will they go for political and personal change? California Shakespeare Theater's artistic director Jonathan Moscone directs an ensemble cast of A.C.T.'s finest actors in this gripping new work. Critically acclaimed in its debut last year, Her Naked Skin was, incredibly, the first play by a living female playwright to be produced at London's Olivier Theatre.

"Your formal training at A.C.T. is demanding, individual, and intense and is designed to refine your sense of theatrical truth by tuning your human instrument—your voice, body, intellect, and imagination."
Melissa Smith, Conservatory Director
A.C.T. seeks to develop the artist in every actor. We cultivate educated men and women of the theater with a critical sense who will energize and advance performance in America. Our training prepares actors to succeed in all aspects of the profession, but our primary goal is to prepare artists for a lifelong investment in the theater.
Our curriculum combines rigorous training in the practical disciplines of acting with the study, rehearsal, and performance of classical and contemporary works drawn from the world repertoire. We believe that actors who have an intellectual and visceral grasp of dramatic literature, who recognize a relationship between new and classical work, are uniquely prepared to collaborate in the development of new dramatic forms.
