What are "The Vagina Monologues"?

Hailed by The New York Times as "funny" and "poignant" and by the Daily News as "intelligent" and "courageous," "The Vagina Monologues," which was first performed off-Broadway by Ms. Ensler, dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women's experiences.  Ms. Ensler has performed the play to great acclaim throughout the world - from Zagreb to Santa Barbara , from London to Seattle, from Jerusalem to Oklahoma City.  Villard Books/Random House first published "The Vagina Monologues," which includes a foreword by Gloria Steinem, in February 1998.  A special V‑Day edition of the play was released in February 2001. Watch the play performed by  talented Singaporean actresses.

"The Vagina Monologues" will be performed at the NUS University Cultural Centre, on the 3 rd, 4th and 5th March at 8pm .  Tickets are priced at $8 and may be purchased (or reserved) by calling Cindy at 9 366 3693 or emailing .

V-Day NUS 2006 is made possible by the generous support of the NUS Centre for the Arts and is awaiting approval to be a Young Changemakers' Project by the National Youth Council.
