What is it?
The award-winning play is based on V-Day Founder/playwright Eve Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women. With humour and grace the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For more than twelve years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public.
The monologues have happened all over the world, and in Kenya, this will be the third performance this year. The previous 2 shows which happened early in the year were both sold out.
The cast includes:
Mũmbi Kaigwa
June Gachui
Savanne Kemoli
Patricia Kihoro
Aleya Kassam
Lorna Irungu
What others say about it?
By turns poignant and painful, uproariously funny and deliciously sexy, it was a celebration and appreciation of the wonder, mystery and beauty of vaginas and femininity. These women commanded our attention, they commanded our respect, they showed us the huge, hidden power of women; they titillated, they cajoled and convinced, they raged and railed, they appealed to our senses, they appealed to our humanity. They declared “Enough is enough!”
They had us applauding, shrieking, ululating.
One lady, Bea Imathiu, experiencing the Vagina Monologues for the first time, later reflected:
“We laughed and cried in equal measure …. I cried from a place so far, the tears didn’t fall – I laughed so hard I forgot to be a lady.
