Bates' ninth annual 'Vagina Monologues' supports health clinic

Elizabeth Wilcox, a senior from South Glastonbury, Conn., directs the ninth annual Bates College production of Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues.

The Obie Award-winning play, which premiered 13 years ago, has enlightened, shocked and entertained audiences all over the world. Ensler based The Vagina Monologues on interviews conducted with more than 200 women about their sexuality, their bodies and their stories of violence and sexual abuse. The result is a collection of stories that are personal yet universal, comic and poignant, brazen and mysterious.
