The Vagina Monologues

Brilliantly comic and touchingly poignant (in more serious sections on the wonders of childbirth or the strength of Bosnia’s rape victims), Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues has become a banner for a new wave of feminism as it takes on once-taboo topics with frankness and great humor. Based on hundreds of interviews Ensler conducted with women from all walks of life, the show alternates between the poetic, the outrageous and the provocative.
