This play is about Marcel Duchamp and his famous painting "Nude Descending a Staircase" that so shocked and horrified the public at the 1913 Armory Show in New York City. The play presents Duchamp and the photographer, Man Ray, as Duchamp turns himself in to the police station, confessing that he has murdered Rose Selavy, whom he claims is his sister and who has been having an affair with Man Ray. The play is surreal, fluid, and very visual, with excellent stage directions that allow the reader to see the play clearly in the mind's eye. The playwright has managed to create in a drama what Duchamp created on canvas. A new way of perceiving a well-known subject. INTERROGATING THE NUDE is a lively, funny, and fascinating experimental play that is clear enough to grab any reasonably intelligent audience yet complex enough to intrigue the more demanding viewer.
