The Vagina Monologues

The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written in 1996 by V (formerly known as Eve Ensler) which developed and premiered at HERE Arts Center, an off-off-Broadway venue in New York, and was followed by an off-Broadway run at the Westside Theatre. The play explores consensual and nonconsensual sexual experiences, body image, genital mutilation, direct and indirect encounters with sexual reproduction, vaginal care, menstruation, prostitution, and several other topics through the eyes of women with various ages, races, sexualities, and other differences. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called the play "probably the most important piece of political theater of the last decade." In 2018, The New York Times stated "No recent hour of theater has had a greater impact worldwide" in an article titled "The Great Work Continues: The 25 Best American Plays Since 'Angels in America'".
