Building on what Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues begat and what Dove’s Real Beauty ads mass-marketed, this 16-woman play speaks to the female experience through monologues performed by both professional and non-professional actors. Proceeds go to Plan’s Because I Am a Girl campaign and the National Eating Disorder Information Centre
From a cast and crew spanning more than seven international countries and the hearts and souls of women everywhere comes a totally original world premiere show: Me So Lovely.
Performed by professional and non professional actors as a series of monologues in a style made famous by Eve Ensler's pioneering work on The Vagina Monologues, Me So Lovely captures the bold heart and the vulnerable soul of our physical and social stigmas; with pathos and humour.
Written by British author Julia Hague. produced by Canadian director Daphne Simone and Canadian producer Jaclyn MacRae (associate producer of the 2007 Toronto production of "The Vagina Monologues"), the play follows the emotional and physical self-esteem challenges of 16 women from around the! world. By delving into the everywoman; the everygirl; the everyperson; Me So Lovelycasts her into the all too harsh spotlight which shines on a world defined by physical and social stereotypes.
Join us for the inaugural run of Me So Lovely as it makes its live theatrical debut in August, downtown Toronto at the Workman Theatre.
In proud partnership with Plan Canada's "Because I'm A Girl" campaign and the National Eating Disorder Information Centre of Canada (NEDIC), 100% of the show's profit from ticketsales will benefit these charities.
Join us in August and help make some noise about social and physical stereotypes!
