Award Winning Film starring playwright, performer, activist Eve Ensler
Eve Ensler wrote the Vagina Monologues in 1996, and they were first performed in a basement in Greenwich Village. To date, the play has been translated into 45 languages and performed in over 130 countries. The author has been a five-time award winner for this amazing play that explores how an intimate part of the female anatomy has become a metaphor for women’s sexual abuse and domestic violence around the globe.
The film showed this evening is the original play featuring Eve Ensler, as solo performer taking all the women’s roles. The play evokes laughter, tears, pain and joy and may not be appropriate for minors. What is universal, though, is the feeling of compassion and admiration the viewer gets from understanding the strength these women show in their attempt to live fulfilling lives inspite of their hardships.
