A new television reality show invites adult performers to test their serious acting abilities in London's theater district.
"My Bare Lady" will cast four leading ladies from U.S. porn studios in a classic piece of drama to be performed in London's West End, a recent story reported. Their experiences undergoing a crash course in acting and appearing before a discerning British audience will air in three episodes on the Fox Reality cable and satellite channels this fall.
"It's a wonderful tale of redemption,” David Lyle, general manager of Fox Reality told Reuters. "Do they want lines that are a little more challenging than 'Oh, here's the pool guy...'?"
The article said that the show's concept is rooted in the bankable plot conflict of many television "reality" shows, taking people out of their accustomed element to see how they fare.
Like Eliza Doolittle learning to speak proper English in My Fair Lady, these women must overcome a challenge formidable to any actor. "If they can move a London theater audience to applaud, they have done pretty well," said Lyle.
The story concluded by saying that the show will be co-produced with the UK's Zig Zag Productions. Fox Reality is a division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
