Amazon.com Anyone who has only seen celebrities perform Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues--or, for that matter, anyone who hasn't seen them at all--should give themselves the present of this HBO special, which captures Ensler's own performance. Some of the monologues--on topics ranging from the word itself (and other words), hair, orgasms, and more--are cute, some are shocking, but all are grounded in Ensler's clear intelligence, sardonic wit, and her crisp and supple voice. The simplicity of the performance is augmented with interviews with other women talking about their vaginas and interviews with Ensler herself. It's amazing that even in the 21st century many women are still uncomfortable with their sex organs; this bracing, wonderful, and deeply funny performance may open things up. --Bret Fetzer Description The Vagina Monologues, created and performed by Eve Ensler, debuted off-off-Broadway in 1996. This controversial work soon rode a wave of national acclaim and continues to be performed in North America and around the world. It has been translated into 14 different languages and performed in over 30 different countries. Now the intimacy of Eve Ensler's original show has been lovingly brought to the screen. The Vagina Monologues captures Eve's unique performance of her work and travels beyond the stage. She explores the creative impetus behind the monologues and conducts a series of new and revealing interviews as inspiring as those that brought about the original work.
