For one night only billed ‘BRITAIN’S FUNNIEST AND SEXIEST SHOW’ and the ultimate girl’s night out, the smash hit tour of  ‘The Vagina Monologues’  will be visiting the Isle of Wight on 23rd November.

The line-up boasts a star studded tour with the talents of Hollyoaks’ longest standing female character, the blonde bombshell Sarah Jayne Dunn fresh from the critically acclaimed national tour of Boeing-Boeing, star of Waterloo Road Zaraah Abrahams, and multi-talented writer, actress, comedienne and presenter Mel Giedroyc  from the comedy duo Mel and Sue.

Become part of the 2 million men and women who have already witnessed one of the 3,000 performances and 25,000 fake orgasms as The Vagina Monologues continues to wow audiences around the country this Spring on its trip round Britain throughout the Autumn of 2009. 

The ultimate girl’s night out has proved compulsive viewing for men too – as The Sunday Times said “See it, even if you haven’t got one.”  (John Peter)

“Theatrical genius”
The Times

Sex has never been funnier or more poignant than in this collection of highly original stories gathered by the show’s dynamic creator, New Yorker, Eve Ensler.  Ensler asked over 200 women of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and walks of life to share their most intimate secrets in ‘vagina interviews’ on such normally taboo topics as birth, sex, orgasms and relationships with truly revelatory results.

“Fresh, funny, beguiling”
Daily Mail

The Vagina Monologues has been critically applauded receiving prestigious nominations for Drama Desk and Obie awards in 1999 in New York, and a nomination for the 2002 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment.  The show is a global phenomenon with multiple productions in over 25 countries and open-ended runs in New York and Paris.

“Heart-stoppingly powerful”
The Scotsman

The show is performed by three amazing women who appear on stage together throughout the evening.  Some of the world’s most successful women have taken part in The Vagina Monologues around the world including Kate Winslet, Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson, Whoopi Goldberg, Mel B, Sharon Osbourne, Dannii Minogue, Ruby Wax, Lisa Stansfield, Jerry Hall, Sophie Dahl, Mariella Frostrup, Honor Blackman, and Maureen Lipman. 

Casting for the 2009 tour included Sue Holderness (Only Fools and Horses), Suzanne Shaw, Jennifer Ellison, Jessie Wallace and Wendi Peters.  The Cast may vary between venues during the Autumn tour, see website for specific venue casting for any other dates.

“Warm, open, exciting, enchantingly funny, liberating…..”
Sunday Times

Every performance of The Vagina Monologues will donate a portion of ticket sales to the V-day fund, an organisation that provides charitable aid to women and girls who have been victims of abuse and violence.  Since May 2001 the West End & touring production of The Vagina Monologues has donated in excess of £250,000 to local charities.

“I’ve decided to tell my mother I’m starring in the Geneva Monologues and it’s about a group of Swiss women in banking”
