The Vagina Monologues
The Vagina Monologues is heading the 2010 season at the Twelfth Night Theatre. Cassandra Ramsay makes
her directorial debut with this Obie award winning play with a cast of three of Brisbane’s finest and most captivating actresses.
A whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six year old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have finally found a man who “liked to look at it”.
“ Ensler breaks taboos by talking, talking and talking some more – stripping fear and shame from what she celebrates here. It makes for quite a party. Funny, outrageous, emotionally affecting, and occasionally angry… The Vagina Monologues confronts words to demystify and disarm them. In so doing, Ensler disarms the audience too.” - Associated Press
