New play a call to action and outreach to men to become allies in ending violence against women and children
Eliza Gardiner and the Vancouver Island University Human Rights and International Solidarity Committee present Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues, plus her new production of A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer, Friday April 9th to Sunday April 11th at VIU’s Nanaimo campus. The plays will raise awareness and funds for the internationally renowned V-Day campaign, and the Nanaimo Women’s Resources Society. Ensler’s new play, A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer, is a compilation of dramatic and poetic pieces by diverse writers that features male performers; it is a call to action and outreach to men to become allies in an international campaign to end violence against women and children.
We speak with several actors from the performances about their participation, hear portions of their rants and monologues, and look at the importance of V-Day.
