WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Eve Ensler made women's sexual organs a topic of international discussion with her groundbreaking play The Vagina Monologues. Now director/playwright Robert Watts gives men their shot with The Penis Monologues: Men Speak.

The Penis Monologues: Men Speak depicts men from all walks of life and status - gay to straight, single to married, sons to fathers - showing the common connection that all men have with each other.
