Sonia Segura as Eugenie reenacts a scene from the play "XXX" at the
Riverside Studios in London, April 23, 2003. The play, performed by
Spain's La Fura Dels Baus theatre company, opened on Tuesday for a
four-week run in London and is based on the 1795 novel "Philosophy in
the Bedroom" by the Marquis de Sade. During the two-hour show directed
by Alex Olle and Carlos Padrissa, naked actors and actresses indulge in
full sexual intercourse, or at least so it seems, through the clever
use of prosthetics and film clips at critical moments. Each night a
member of the audience, who has submitted a sexual fantasy to the
company's website gets to perform it live on stage. REUTERS/Peter
