The Vagina Monologues at Fringe this year is bringing different voices, stories and perspectives from women about their experiences having, well, vaginas. Ranging over topics from health and safety to lifestyle and beauty, director Jaimz Dillman’s production of Eve Ensler’s script consolidates various interviews into soliloquies that are read aloud by a large, rotating cast of women that includes local celebrities like Anna Eskamani and Nikki Darden Creston. 

The monologues are delivered with humor, honesty and a sense of purpose; they move from funny to furious to tender, often within the span of a few lines, and the ensemble helps to make that emotional variety feel endearing. Each segment helps contribute to the thematic statement that our internal organs — even ones that are historically considered taboo due to the patriarchy — should never be something we feel ashamed of, but respected. What makes this feel especially important is the collection of real testimonies from women all over who share their own anecdotes about sex, safety, hair, bodies and the complicated way women are taught to speak about themselves. 

This play also has a strong sense of mission. It is overtly feminist, and invites the audience to listen closely and reconsider the stories of women that get read aloud. With proceeds of this show benefiting One Heart Women and Children, the performance extends its message beyond the stage, making this show both political and practical.
