"In the Body of the World"

"In the Body of the World": A Powerful Memoir

Tony Award-winning author, performer and activist Eve Ensler, whose "The Vagina Monologues" is an international sensation, comes to the Manhattan Theatre Club at New York City Center with "In the Body of the World", a powerful new play based on her critically acclaimed memoir. While working with women suffering from the ravages of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ensler was stunned by a life-threatening diagnosis. Now, told with her signature brand of humor, Ensler's personal journey uncovers surprising connections between her body and the earth and how illness can be both transformative and transcendent. Directing this bold, unflinching and inspiring American Repertory Theater production is Tony Award winner Diane Paulus ("Waitress, Pippin").
