she'll like it, you'll want to stab yourself in the throat with anything sharp that you can find 3/16/2006 5:16:19 PM |

It's funny, mediocre at best. Performance quality is everything. 3/16/2006 5:18:02 PM |

Dude... I saw that play about five years ago, and felt like shooting myself in the face because it was so fuckin stupid. 3/18/2006 1:47:22 AM |

ah, but you don't have a vagina...which, in my understanding, is a requirement for finding the play entertaining...anywho, it's not about me, it's about whether my gf will like it...seems like she might 3/18/2006 1:57:00 AM |

I went to it a few years back. It was okay but nothing spectacular (to me) although I liked the stuff they were selling. Might have better actors this time though. And it's for a good cause. 3/18/2006 9:26:40 AM |

Will anyone ever talk about how Vagina Monologues positively portrays a woman in her thirties who molests a 13yo girl? 3/18/2006 9:44:29 AM |

Quote : | "The play is meant to decry rape and other violence against women. Yet, the original performances of the play and the published book eulogize the lesbian "rape" of a 13-year-old girl by a 24-year-old woman who plies her with alcohol. The pedophile section is entitled "The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could" - Coochi Snorcher being the nickname of the little girl's genitalia. Her vagina's tale of seduction begins, "She gently and slowly lays me out on the bed ..."
After becoming more graphic, the little girl gratefully concludes, "I'll never need to rely on a man."
Both by statute and by feminist definition, the "seduction" scene is rape. Nevertheless, the Coochi Snorcher declares, "... if it was rape, it was a good rape."
Such idealization of child molestation would have created a firestorm of outrage if the offending character had been male. But the molester was female, so The Vagina Monologues won an OBIE Award on Broadway and noted actresses clamored to be included in the cast. When The New York Times reported the buzz about Ensler, it called her "the Messiah heralding the second wave of feminism."
However, audiences probably won't hear the Coochi Snorcher speaking of "good rape" in the 2002 performances. In past years, some sections of The Vagina Monologues have caused embarrassment to the organizers and university officials who have backed V-Day performances. The script has been changed.
One of the alterations: The 13-year-old vagina omits the more inflammatory passages." |
They took a lot of it out now, but remember that it was award winning beforehand.3/18/2006 10:45:13 AM |

oh shit I forgot about that scene!! Yeah I remember thinking to myself during that scene, "Am I the only person in the audience who finds this a bit perverse?" 3/18/2006 12:26:11 PM |
