Based on interviews with over 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality, “The Vagina Monologues” gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who will ever look at a woman's body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again. Eve Ensler introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape and a septuagenarian New Yorker.

The cast includes Tara Farnsworth, Darlene Grandy and Valerye Rene.

“The Vagina Monologues” was written in 1996. First performed in the basement of the Cornelia Street Café in Greenwich Village and since has been translated into 45 languages and performed in over 130 countries. Celebrities who have starred in the play include: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Idina Menzel, Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon, Marin Mazzie, Cyndi Lauper, Mary Testa and Oprah Winfrey. Ensler was awarded the Obie Award in 1996 for ‘Best New Play.’

“Funny, outrageous, emotionally affecting, and occasionally angry… “The Vagina Monologues” confront words to demystify and disarm them. In so doing, Ensler disarms the audience too.” —Associated Press
