IV ENZLER famous playwright. The performances based on her plays “The Vagina Monologues” (awarded an Obie Award), “Floating Ronta and the Glued Man” and “Excellent Body” brought her worldwide popularity. The Vagina Monologues spawned an entire movement, V-Day (www.vday.org), whose goal is to protect women around the world from violence and provide support to those who have suffered from it. This charitable organization currently operates in 76 countries around the world. The book “The Vagina Monologues” is the fruit of Eve Enzler’s conversations with a variety of women. Young, old, mature, married, divorced, single, heterosexual, lesbian, bisexual, white, black. Conversations that began with playful questions like “If you wore your vagina, what would it wear?” or “If your vagina could talk, what would it say?” ended with piercing revelations and amazing discoveries from which this legendary book grew. The provocative nature of the Monologues, paradoxically, helps women around the world establish a unique relationship with their amazing organ, be proud of its capabilities, enjoy its beauties and not offend anyone. The play “The Vagina Monologues” was first presented to the public in 1996 in New York. Then Eve herself read from the stage frank confessions of women who decided to talk about their vagina without disgust, embarrassment or awkward giggling.

The play has been translated into 30 languages and shown in 53 countries around the world. Website of the Russian production of the play: Translation from English by Anna Ledeneva.
