Summary
The avant-garde play "Oh! Calcutta!" premiered in 1969, created by a group of British authors and brought to life by Kenneth Tynan. Known for its exploration of love, sexuality, and human relationships, as well as its use of full frontal nudity, the play achieved critical and commercial success, sparking revivals and translations and breaking taboos around nudity and sexuality in the theater.
