A powerful new play based on her critically-acclaimed memoir. While working with women suffering from the ravages of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ensler was stunned by a life-threatening diagnosis.  Told with her signature brand of humor, Ensler’s personal journey uncovers surprising connections between her body and the earth and how illness can be both transformative and transcendent.

Variety

“[Ensler] goes beyond simply recounting her experience with cancer—and an intimate, shocking and touching tale it is—to create a bold, political work that is as personal and global as her signature work…[She] presents…a thoughtfully laid-out narrative quilt, made up of engaging frankness, measured sentiment, smartly-timed revelations and disarming humor.”

“IN THE BODY OF THE WORLD is tough love, harsh medicine, a tonic…I came out rattled as I have rarely been rattled by any theater experience, devastated and blissful at the same improbable time.”
