The show's adult content and profanity is treated respectfully and always presented with authenticity. The only changes in the content from previous productions I've seen include the use of an opaque screen during a sex scene, so the intimacy between two characters is depicted as shadows, and the omission of a moment of brief nudity–changes that do not diminish the impact of these moments aided by the contribution of intimacy director Matt Denney. The direction achieves raw and emotionally intense performances from the cast.
