Vagina Monologues
Its a show based on a collection of womens stories. Every monologue relates to the vagina, be it through sex, love, rape, menstruation, mutilation, masturbation, birth, orgasm, the variety of names for the vagina, or simply as a physical aspect of the female body. A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality.
Before going I wasn't sure what I would think of Carol Smiley in this role, as normally I'm not her biggest fan. However, she did come across well, and after
seeing her simulate an orgasm on stage Im not sure I'll view her in the
same light again.
Its a girls night out with a twist, if you haven't been you should
definately try to get along.
