I decided to talk to women about their vaginas, to do vagina interviews, which became vagina monologues … At first women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy. But once they got going, you couldn’t stop them. Women secretly love to talk about their vaginas. They get very excited, mainly because no one’s ever asked them before.’ Eve Ensler
A poignant and hilarious tour of the last frontier, the ultimate forbidden zone, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES is a celebration of female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery. Hailed as the bible for a new generation of women, it has been performed in cities and colleges throughout the world, and has inspired a dynamic grassroots movement — V-Day — to stop violence against women. Read here by the author herself, it is witty and irreverent, compassionate and wise, and Eve Ensler’s award-winning masterpiece gives voice to real women’s deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who listens to it will ever look at a woman’s body, or think of sex, in quite the same way again.

A million women can't be wrong - it IS good!

This play changed the world. Seeing it changed my soul. Performing in it changed my life

'Filled with generous energy and delight' The Times
EVENING STANDARD
Feminist without being man-hating, entertaining without being trite, and political without being earnest
Variety
Spellbinding, funny, and almost unbearably moving ... a work of art and an incisive piece of cultural history, a poem and a polemic, a performance and a balm and a benediction
