The Vagina Monologues Appreciation Thread

pax · 07-26-2005, 07:20 PM

I was so incensed by Eve Ensler's inclusion on Bernard Goldberg's list of "100 people who are screwing up America" or whatever

list that I decided to give an amazing woman, and play, a shoutout.

I totally recommend seeing The Vagina Monologues to anyone who has a vagina or cares about them.

I have now been twice, both for benefit performances connected with the V-Day Movement (benefit performances of TVM for rape crisis centers, women's shelters, and the like), and TVM is just an awesome piece of work. I laughed, I cried, I shouted along with the actresses, and I'd go a third time if I got the chance.

And the fact that Ensler has basically given her work over to be used a nonprofit basis by V-Day is doubly awesome.

V-Day works with women all over the world to speak out against violence perpetrated against women, and has been named one of Worth magazine's 100 Best Charities.

to TVM! Any other fans?

hell yes!

my best friend and i went to see this on valentine's day when we were both recovering from bad break-ups. it was put on by students at my university, and it was incredible. there are no words to describe how awesome the performances were. i think we covered every emotion conceivable in the course of the play. best valentine's day ever.

also incredible is another of her plays, 'necessary targets,' about the effects of war on women. i got it for christmas a couple of years back. read the whole thing in one sitting, and it was nothing short of mindblowing. if you haven't read it, pax, you should pick it up. you'll love it.

YEAH to V-A-G-I-N-A....VAGINA

The world would not be the same without it

I was in my university's production of TVM during my senior year. It rocked so much!

I did the CUNT monologue

Thanks for starting this thread, pax... I have fond memories of this show.

Not to mention the powerful message it packs. I had so many people stop me after the show to say that they would never think about their vagina the same again!

It was on HBO and I thought it sucked.

But vaginas themselves are ace

Hewson · 07-28-2005, 05:57 AM

Do these women really deliver monologues with their vaginas?
Might be worth seeing.
