Theatre review: Baby Face, Tron Theatre, Glasgow

IN THE publicity for her show, Katy Dye tells it straight. Paedophilia is not OK, she says; yet fetishised images of women as prepubescent girls are. Baby Face is an extraordinary physical performance – dance shading into solo stand-up provocation – in which Dye explores and challenges her own relationship with a culture in which, so far as the male gaze is concerned, female sexual attraction is often bound up with babyish or child-like mannerisms and looks.
