From Eve Ensler, author of one of the most influential works of the twentieth century--The Vagina Monologues--and one of Newsweek's "150 Women Who Changed the World," comes a powerful, life-changing examination of abuse and atonement.
Eve Ensler is a Tony Award–winning playwright, author, performer, and activist. She wrote the international bestselling phenomenon The Vagina Monologues, which won an Obie, has been published in 48 languages, and has been performed in more than 140 countries. She is the author of many plays and books, including the NYT bestseller I Am an Emotional Creature. She recently adapted her highly praised memoir In the Body of the World into a play, which ran to critical acclaim at the American Repertory Theater and Manhattan Theatre Club. Her play The Vagina Monologues gave birth to V-DAY, a global activist movement to end gender-based violence. Through benefit productions of her artistic works, the V-DAY movement has raised over $100 million and funded over 13,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses throughout the world. She is also the founder of ONE BILLION RISING, the largest global mass action campaign to combat violence against women and girls. She was named one of Newsweek’s “150 Women Who Changed the World” and one of the Guardian’s “100 Most Influential Women.” She lives in Kingston, NY.
Probably the most important piece of political theater of the last
decade.
