The Vagina Monologues REVIEW

BrisbaneCritiques | 19/03/2010 - 20:18

The Vagina Monologues
By Eve Ensler
Directed by Cassandra Ramsay
Presented by THAT Production Company
Twelfth Night Theatre, Bowen Hills

Any show that can persuade its audience to yell out the forbidden ‘C word’ repeatedly must be some kind of success, but the overall delivery of this woman-power production lacked gusto, saved only in parts by the wackiness of the talented Charleen Marsters.

The Vagina Monologues is based on the stories of women from around the world who were interviewed about their vagina, pussy, flower…or whatever you want to call it. Personal and sometimes uncomfortable stories are shared, ranging from a woman who had attended a vagina workshop, and a homeless woman who was abused as a child. There were some interesting vagina facts, and campaigns to keep the hair down there!

Featured event
LEGentertainment (Australia) auditions for
By Jeeves!

Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and Alan Ayckbourn

Scott-Leonard Landers

By George! By Jove! By Jeeves!

From the classic P.G. Wodehouse stories of the amiably dense Bertie Wooster and his estimable manservant Jeeves,
two of the theater's most celebrated talents have fashioned a jolly chamber
musical chock full of hilarity and invention. Bertie is looking forward to
enlivening a charity benefit at a church hall when his beloved banjo
mysteriously goes missing. Assisted by the unflappable Jeeves, Bertie instead
entertains the audience with an improvised account of how he and two chums -
with, as one song puts it, "a collective I.Q. of around 42" - all got their
names and identities confused in the course of one riotously raucous weekend.
This tale of escalating chaos and labyrinthine high jinx unfolds to the
accompaniment of one of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's most vivacious and sprightly
scores. BY JEEVES cleverly intertwines the twin English passions for amateur
theatrics and bumbling silliness, taking us back to a time when flirty girls
pursued men, not careers, and where good breeding took precedence over
brainpower.
