Vagina Monologues...

6 Feb 2009

I suspect this may have been done before but the search button is not being my friend today.
Has anyone been?
It's showing in Edinburgh this month so on the walk home from work the other night I impulsively wandered into the box office and bought tickets. Now I didn't really consider who I'd ask to come along but had a vague thought of my not-so-vanilla mate from work. I asked her but she's seen it. Oh well I thought, I'll find someone.
Then it dawned on me that I've already got a friend coming to stay the night I have tickets for. :doh:
Hmmmm... then I tried to decide whether this particular vanilla-ish friend and the Vagina Monoglogues will mix!
What the hell... I sent an email:

Okay... monumental fuck up!
:mrgreen:
Last night... on the walk home from work I was passing the Playhouse and decided to buy tickets for a show that I've been wanting to see for ages!
Now I had no idea who I would go to this show with... I just bought two tickets!
And what date did I buy them for?! Well you guessed it... Friday 20th February!
So... my next question is, would you like to come with me?
It would involve you actually being over here ON TIME which I know is a totally foreign concept for you!
AND
You'd have to be game!
Are you game?!
The Vagina Monologues is the show in question! :mrgreen:
What say you man of the world...

His response made me smile... he knows me so well! :lol:

"Passing the Playhouse and decided to buy tickets for a show"
Did you also buy: The Evening News, Polo Mints, A Sausage Supper, Weed Killer, Two dozen eggs, A new computer, A nice Rioja, Oxfam sponshorship and anything else in a shop window you happened to pass?
Okay, having taken some advice re vaginas and predominantly female theatre audiences, I have decided I am game!
However, given my legendary timekeeping and obvious geographical considerations, you'll need to give me a 'You can't get here any later than...' time and it would always (in a good way) be dependant on when I finish work.
Otherwise, count me in!
Ax
So... my questions are:
Have you been?
Did you enjoy it?
Were there m/any blokes there?
EDIT: And to the blokes who haven't been... would you go?

I just wanna know who A is??? lol

:lol:
Friend has been she loved it!

My Vagina says - go see it :giggle:
Its very profound, sad, funny, hilarious, tear jerking.......
Makes you think about the world in general and how *some* women have been abused an used.
In Edit: very few blokes when I went to see it... had a good chat with those who afterwards an they thought it was brilliant and said *every young man should see it*

I saw it in Manchester a few years when it starred Honor Blackman.
It was a really funny show.
There werent many guys in there, but those that were, were wetting themselves.
lol

I've been, and with a bloke. We had a fab and hilarious time. Different bits were differently funny to each of us but a great time was had by both. I suppose it was mostly women in the audience, but there were enough men there not for him not to feel like - er - a spare prick at the Vagina Monologues.
My companion is nearly a 'Bob' - you will get the reference after you've seen it. We talked about vaginas in great detail over dinner afterwards but had to be very quiet in the restaurant. And then he a spent a long time delivering his own monologue to my vagina -at least I think that's what he was doing.
Enjoy DG!

A bunch of ladies I know from the wider world went for a night out to see it and raved about it for weeks after.

Is the male equivalent "Talking from the Arse?"
Heard plenty of good reports about it, albeit from females. I am sure plenty of fella's go, maybe in the hope of procuring a schematic.

I took my son at 15 years old and he loved it.
There is a part in it when the men in the audience are asked to raise their hands etc and they are asked something which would imply an intimate relationship with the women they are sat next to. My son yelling out 'ewwwwwww she's my mum' had people laughing redface

I have been many many times and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

i've been several times. once with girlie friends and once with jack.
different experiences each time - well worth it.
very funny, very sad - amazing
look out for Bob!!

Would love to go. Next time DG, give me a shout!

I made Mr come with me to see it a couple of years ago, he wasnt very keen at first and was certainly in the minority but he loved it.
I would go and see it again in a flash, never has a show had such an affect on all my emotions, I was peeing my self laughing one minute then sitting sobbing the next.
Its a must see show for everyone.

Mumbling was he? :giggle:
Monologues should of course be projected.
Always got to watch out fer the echo then though.
