I watched "Vaginalogue" before some years ago when it was first
staged in the Substation. It's a rather thought-provoking piece on
the most private part of a female through use of dramatisation to
portray how different people perceive the part. There is quite a
liberal use of "raw words" (aka vulgarities - note the beginning,
if there is no change to the play) but all in the right context so
people should not feel offended. It made women have a new
perspective to the part which is closest to them but perhaps the
least understood. It also offered men a interesting viewpoint of
the part besides the erroroneous use of it as part of vulgar
language and criminal behaviour.
However, given the often liberalised plays put up by Drama Box,
which I suspect played a part in its almost non-existent funding by
NAC, the small organisation will cease to operate after it fulfils
its obligations to agreed plays (of which Vaginalogue is one). I do
hope it will make a comeback in future.
As for BaoBao, I hope she returns to air on that station which
gives her the most amount of flexibility for her hosting style
which is seen as too straightforward to the straight-laced. We
really miss her!
