I just had dinner with a woman who spearheaded efforts at her Catholic college to host the controversial Vagina Monologues. She described being threatened by the college with unspecified sanctions and facing lots of student protests, which only drove interest in the event further. She said the thrust of the dialogue was about domestic abuse. Maybe a tenth of it was devoted to sexuality. When pressed, she agreed having "Vagina" in the title was what invited criticism, but said that is what drives the ticket sales.
So... are conservatives unwittingly pushing up sales of tickets to this play by opposing it?
