WATCHING a porn film with your colleagues is not the usual workplace practice.
But for a group of Sydney actors rehearsing a new musical, a viewing of the classic 1978 X-rated flick Debbie Does Dallas on Thursday night was all in the name of research.
"There was a lot of fast-forwarding going on and quite a few toilet and drink breaks," actor Lisa Adam said yesterday.
"But I think we can justify it for character development - and I've got to say, it's the most interesting research I've ever done."
Adam stars as Debbie in Debbie Does Dallas - The Musical, a spoof based on the classic porn film that featured Bambi Woods as a cheerleader who needs to make money through, ahem, sweat and tears to join the pom-pom squad of the Texas football team.
