Vagina Monologues a Review
This is only my opinion given to you from the view point of a mere male.
From what I could see the ladies on the front row had the best seats because they were given copies of the script so that they could keep track of the events, for some baffling reason they faced the rest of the audience and would not have been able to see what was going on behind them!
There must have been a delay in the start of the actual performance because these brave souls took it upon themselves to give some sort of introduction ready for the star performer to arrive with the amplifiers and other such pieces of equipment.
I will however just backtrack a little to the moment when the group of people I was with arrived to save them embarrassment I will not name the individuals in our party of six but it consisted of four men and two 'ladies'. The men of our party arrived in dirty macs and wearing a pair of those 'Geek' glasses each, on seeing us Gayle (who I will name because nothing can embarrass her), greeted us warmly, shaking each one of us gently by the neck.
We knew something was about to happen because the bar closed, from our vantage point at the back (next to the ash-trays), we heard, nothing! So we moved half way down the room to the bar area were we could then at last hear something, the something was the constant drone of the beer coolers working away which also drowned out what was going on.
It was a strange thing to see 500 women determined to enjoy themselves, obviously the people on the first six rows heard whatever was said and laughed at the funny bits, from there like a ripple in a pond the laughter changed to be more of a sort of polite I don't know whats going on but I'm going to laugh anyway. Those at the very back must have read the book and learned it by heart because I know that is the only way they could join in with the jollity of the evening!
Well, having stood tapping our feet to the rhyhtm of the beer coolers for what seemed to be an eternity but probably was only 20 minutes we decided to do the only sensible thing any man could do in a bar with no beer, leave and go to the Crown (excellent beers and a friendly welcome from the landLADY).
As we left the coven to themselves the only bit of entertainment the rear of the audience could have enjoyed was to join together and cheer at our departure, thanks girls we love you too!
Please note I cannot criticise the vagi' monologue because I didn't hear a word of it, it was obviously a topic close to the heart (has it moved I hear you ask?), of the many women that turned up but please, please, Gayle, next time you do this sort of thing ask that nice man the MANager of the bar and he will organise the use of the clubs P.A. system.
If you do that I might, only might, don't hold me to it, turn up next year and give a proper opinion of this little enactment! Oh if I am there next year could you get them to announce when the bar is shutting so I can get a few beers in before the show starts.
