News Eve Ensler Workshops Her NY-Bound Good Body at Seattle Rep, Starting April 15 Vagina Monologues scribe Eve Ensler workshops her latest work The Good Body at Seattle Repertory Theatre, starting April 15. The show will have its world premiere at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre in June prior to a New York run.

Peter Askin directs The Good Body is set to play in the PONCHO Forum through May 2, with a final performance on May 3 in the Bagley Wright Theatre.

Inspired by the widespread popularity of her previous boundary-breaking work The Vagina Monologues, Ensler spoke with women all over the world about their bodies in her travels. From those conversations, the scribe developed her own script for The Good Body which focuses on the rest of the female anatomy, exploring the lengths women go to for a culturally accepted perception of "good."

Familiar with the solo genre, Askin has directed John Leguizamo's Sexaholix...a love story for Broadway as well as Dinner with Demons, Trumbo, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Mambo Mouth and Spic-O Rama.

Ensler has also written the plays Lemonade, Necessary Targets, The Depot, Floating Rhoda and the Glue Man, Extraordinary Measures, Ladies and Scooncat. Her OBIE Award-winning Vagina Monologues is still produced around the world following its successful Off-Broadway run which opened on Oct. 3, 1999 and ran through Jan. 26, 2003.

Ensler will take part in post-show receptions following the April 15 and 16 performances at the Seattle stage.
