Vagina Monologues in Creole

The Vagina Monologues in Creole should be coming to Brooklyn soon. Finally! Several versions have emerged in the last two years, though none in Brooklyn that I know of. (That's right, Miami got one before we did. And of course several took place in Haiti.) For those of us who want to bring non Creole-speaking friends, hopefully the show will not have them asleep of incomprehension. We'll see. (It's promising that not all the actresses are Haitian, Linda Powell being a good example.) Oh and I've seen the names of both Eve Ensler the original author and award-winning author Edwidge Danticat on different versions of the program.

Update 2/18: It looks like Eve Ensler's participation is not a rumor.
