The show was at Alliance Française, where they also had an art exhibition, showing "wearable art":
Here's me with Milena the Columbian and Bernice the Kenyan, both of whom I'd met at an Internations-event on my first night in Nairobi:
I thought that the Vagina Monologues would be a bunch of angry, feminist lesbians talking badly about men. It wasn't like that, at least not for the most parts.
The actresses were all Kenyan and the show had interesting bits written by a Kenyan women to give it the local flair and deal with important issues. Those had themes of rape and female genital mutilation. Surprisingly the show had a couple of monologues with a homosexual theme, something which is still illegal in Kenya...
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL LADIES OUT THERE!
