A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer is a collection
of groundbreaking monologues by world-renowned figures, commissioned by V-Day
for the Until The Violence Stops festival in 2006. Edited by playwright
Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues, MMRP brings the issue of violence
against women and girls to the forefront of our consciousness. These
diverse voices rise in a collective roar to expose and examine the
insidiousness of brutality, neglect, exploitation or a little “put-down”.
MMRP is Edward Albee on S&M, Kathy Najimy on junior high and Maya Angelou
on women's work. The writings are inspired, disturbing, funny,
empowering, haunting. But above all, they paint a profound portrait of this
issue's effect on every one of us. MMRP is a stunning, unabashed look at
violence against women and a shout-out to the world to end it. And this time,
some of those shouting loudest are men.
