I can't for one minute pretend that I'm qualified in any way to review theatre productions, however, what I can say, is that the most recent productions from Playlovers ('Eurobeat') and the current production of 'The Vagina Monologues'are a credit to the Playlovers team. I'd heard a bit about the Monoluges before now, but here I was seeing it for the first time. I went along expecting a comedy, in the style of 'Menopause the musical', of course, this play has much more. One minute funny, the next sombre, and thought provoking (especially for we mere-males). The cast were superb, in delivering, what in truth, is a potentially difficult subject matter (ha!)Great performance ladies. Be proud! The healthy audiences are richly deserved. cheers Johnny Grim A lad in sane productions

As to the above notice - I had major trouble getting tickets for this show but something luckily popped up on the opening night -Friday - so myself and three friends went along. We had a great time. I myself have read these monologues several tiems over - it was a close consideration for my TEE piece alst year - so am quite familiar with them. Still it was a delight to see them actually performed. I must give congrats to the girls because it is for many people a confronting and uncomfortable subject matter - for men and women alike. But my two favourites remain my two favourites - Moaning and The Angry Vagina. For my friends this was their introduction to community theatre and i'm sure they'll be out for more now. thanks again for a the great entertainment. ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.
