Vagina Monologues is in Leamington back with fresh theme

Although a comedy, the production of the famous play by Eve Ensler, which is produced and performed every year by members of Warwick University’s anti-sexism society, will approach serious issues, centring around the One Billion Rising movement.

French and Theatre Studies student Fiona Grieg, who is co-producing and co-directing the show with Phoebe Demeger, said: “It’s been an absolutely fantastic project to be a part of. Everyone is helping each other out and boosting each other’s confidence.

“We have a different theme, different director and different cast every year. You can see it every year and not get bored.”

Ninety per cent of ticket sales proceeds will be donated to the Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (CRASAC), with the other ten per cent going to international charity V-Day and proceeds from the bar going to Bath Place Community Venture.

The performance, on Saturday March 9 at the Band Factory in Althorpe Street, starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £6.50, available online and on the door. There will also be performances at Taylor John’s House in Coventry on Wednesday and at Warwick University on Thursday.
