Vagina Monologues

It started in the basement of the Cornelia Street Café in downtown New York. Five years later -- on Feb. 10, 2001 -- it's going to Madison Square Garden for an all star extravaganza featuring Calista Flockhart, Jane Fonda (making her return to stage), Melissa Ethridge, Oprah Winfrey and more. Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues is back -- with three new monologues, a new introduction, and dozens of heartbreaking testimonials from young women around the country who have performed the monologues at their local colleges as part of a nation-wide campaign to stop violence against women, VDay. What started as a play has become a national phenomenon, the bible for a new generation of women.

Together with The Vagina Monologues: The V-Day Edition, Villard is proud to publish Eve Ensler's Necessary Targets, a groundbreaking play about women and war -- Ensler's first new play since her Obie-award-winning Vagina Monologues.

Eve Ensler is a force of nature, a woman alive with passion and conviction. "You don't just hook up with Eve," Glenn Close has said, "You become part of her crusade. There's a core of us who are Eve's army." "Eve Ensler can soar to Rabelesian heights or move us with quiet compassion," writes Time. "She may not save the world, but what other playwrights even think of trying."
