Move over, Hollywood – there's a bold new stage production in town, and it's shaking up the theater world as we know it. The trailblazing OnlyFans stars Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue are the muses behind an intriguing new play called "Body Count," which promises to delve deep into the fascinating realm of adult content creation.
The talented Issy Knowles takes center stage not only as the playwright but also as the lead actress in this one-woman show. She embodies Pollie, a former consultant who ditches the corporate grind for the tantalizing allure of OnlyFans, embarking on an audacious quest to have sex with 1,000 men. The play is set to make its debut at the Seven Dials Playhouse in London this July before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Issy Knowles aims to spark a conversation about the public's often judgmental gaze towards OnlyFans creators. "For many of us, we know how it feels to be objectified, and we can’t help but put ourselves into that scenario and see this queue of men, and inherently feel like we understand," she shared. "There’s this real need to other these women, when actually I think there’s more that unites us."
Knowles' portrayal isn't just about the numbers game – it's a reflection on society's fixation with these creators and the underlying shared experiences of objectification. Phillips, who gained notoriety for her bold exploits documented in a YouTube documentary, and Blue, who made headlines with her record-breaking encounter, have both been instrumental in shaping this narrative.
Lily Phillips, at just 23, has become a household name in the world of adult content. In a March interview, she candidly addressed misconceptions about her career, emphasizing that her choices were her own. "People think it’s some kind of trauma or I’ve been abused or I’m being forced into doing this and that’s just not all the truth," she clarified.
Phillips' journey into adult content was not an overnight decision. She shared insights into her early exposure to pornography and her views on its consumption. "I personally don’t think pornography is a bad thing, in moderation. I just think when … younger adults have a lot of access to it, that’s when it does become a problem," she explained.
As "Body Count" prepares to hit the stage, it challenges audiences to rethink their perceptions of OnlyFans creators and the complexities of their world.
