“Vaginismus is a condition where the muscles surrounding the entrance to the vagina involuntarily tighten, making penetration impossible or painfully uncomfortable.”
To you, this might be a collection of words you’re not used to reading, much less saying out loud. To Vaginismus.com, it’s a tagline, a preview of a deeper (pardon the pun) issue. To some women, it’s a very real obstacle to intimacy, in every sense of the word. To this play’s protagonist, it’s just a challenge.

Brooke has just been given a diagnosis she views as dooming her to a lifetime of painful sex. She’s determined to overcome it, using awkward conversations, dating apps, sex toys, friends with benefits, and an obscene amount of that free lube from Planned Parenthood. It may hurt her every step of the way, but hey! At least she’s getting laid, right?

    I absoulutely adored this play!! Not only is the subject matter unlike anything I've seen depicted onstage but I don't think I've ever seen a character like Brooke onstage before. A character that is so in control of her body. We need more characters like this. Great theatre has a duty to shine a light on stories that are too often pushed into the shadows. Its should be a place where people can see themselves reflected and know they are not alone. This play is really great theatre.
