ACT 3 Theatre Company, comprised of Charlotte Pritchard, Becky Faulkner, and Cat Quigley, is proud to present The Vagina Monologues, a bold and unflinching celebration of womanhood performed by an all-female cast. Written by Eve Ensler, this iconic play will take centre stage at South Mill Arts Theatre on Friday, 2nd May, and Saturday, 3rd May, at 7:30 PM. Due to explicit language and sensitive content, this production is strictly for audiences aged 18 and older.

Since its premiere in 1996, The Vagina Monologues has sparked global conversations about female identity, sexuality, and empowerment. Through a series of compelling and often humorous monologues, the play addresses topics such as self-discovery, body image, sexual violence, and societal taboos. With raw emotion and powerful storytelling, the production explores crucial issues, including menstruation, body image, genital mutilation, prostitution, and consent, offering diverse perspectives from women of various backgrounds.

“The Vagina Monologues is a groundbreaking work that continues to resonate deeply with audiences,” says Director Cat Quigley. “We are honoured to present a production that not only entertains but also challenges perceptions and encourages important conversations.”

The show also features singer Gemma Kalmakrian, who will be singing a beautiful selection of female inspired songs at the interval for the audience to enjoy.
