MUMBAI: The Vagina Monologues is a global phenomenon and has become a brand name in India. This powerful play-an unusual blend of outrageous comedy and heart-breaking drama-tells the stories of women like you have never heard before. Ask anyone who has seen either the English or the Hindi version of The Vagina Monologues and they will tell you that this play is a must-see and transformational-a play that is exceptionally relevant in modern India.
From the Maharashtrian woman who met a man who “loved to look at her” to a Parsi woman who hasn’t been “down there since 1944”, this play promises to enlighten and entertain you like no other play out there right now. The piece de resistance of the evening is a medley of the Big “O”. It has been truly said of Eve Ensler’s masterpiece, that after watching it, no man or woman will ever be the same again!
The Vagina Monologues has been part of a larger movement here called V-Day India. This movement, along with the play, has helped raise awareness and funds to combat and eliminate violence against women and girls. To date, The Vagina Monologues in India has raised upwards of Rs. 80 lakhs to donate to individuals and organizations working towards ending violence against women and girls.
