To mark V-Day - which promotes awareness of violence against women - Vision Theatre Company is joining forces with Action for Children’s Women and Girls Together Service - in a performance of The Vagina Monologues.

Directed by Terri Harrison, The Vagina Monologues is seen as the cornerstone of the V-Day campaign - and is a critically-acclaimed, bittersweet, female-led production comprising various personal monologues read by a diverse group of women.

Originally, the playwright Eve Ensler performed every monologue herself, with more recent versions featuring a different actress for every role - including, over the years, a wide group of household names like Glenn Close; Sally Lindsay; Lesley Joseph; Goldie Hawn; Joanna Page; Hayley Mills and Jessie Wallace.

Each monologue deals with an aspect of the feminine experience, touching on matters like sex, sex work, body image, love, rape, menstruation, female genital mutilation and birth. A recurring theme throughout the piece is female empowerment.

Every year a new monologue is added to highlight a current issue affecting women around the world.

At the end of each Vision Theatre Company performance there will be a bucket collection for Action for Children’s Women and Girls Together Service.

Said director Terri: “To be directing and performing this unique and powerful piece of theatre is really quite exciting.”

The show runs at Boulevard Theatre, Milford Haven from February 16-18. Tickets from www.visionartswales.com .
