dancingfarmer: Have you seen The Vagina Monologue? How was it? What can you tell me about it. Would you go see it? My boss is sponsoring a performance at Foxwoods and I'm going to be in it. I'm just looking for some advice and any words of wisdom. And, of course, I hope everyone who can, will come see it. It's to raise money for a good cause and tickets are available on the resort web site.
You'll love it; you may feel a bit embarrassed while watching and especially listening to the monologues, but you'll love it; never met a woman that didn't .
I've seen it, read the book and was given the DVD set. It is HILARIOUS as well as so true.
It opens the window on the last forbidden zone; it is a celebration of female sexuality in all its mystery and complexity that any man should appreciate for not only himself but for the women in his life where intimacy and love go hand in hand.
It has universally inspired a V DAY the world over much to the consternation of the male neanderthals still parading around with their delusions that their penises are the world symbol of power over women- all women.
The first performance I was lucky enough to get tickets for was by Eve Ensler herself who wrote it. Some found it crude and offensive but no one that I've met that has seen it, be it on screen or on stage could deny the the truth of it all; it is as the author wanted: to reveal fully to women's deepest fantasies and fears and that no one who hears or sees it will ever look at a woman's body or think of sex, in quite the same way again to the relief of women everywhere...a whole new perspective of women for males in which to really appreciate the woman's perspective. You should have a ball,(no pun intended!) in being part of this "liberation of anxieties"! %D Have fun!
