Oh, by the way.. its at the Sime Darby Convention Centre.(Mt Kiara) Auditorium

Here are the details for the play.



Introduction

In the world of today exposed to terrorism, fear, weapons of mass destruction, the most dangerous thing tackled in this play is a dish of vanilla ice cream considered contraband elsewhere in the world, ice-cream suddenly represent something delightfully unexpected – freedom.

Staged for the first time in Malaysia, the director and producers of The Good Body hope to help the women in Malaysia achieve some freedom from their negative body image by providing an inside look at the outside exploring the cultures of food, beauty & desire through the eyes of women around the world.

This is new theatre at its finest: The Good Body will move, inspire and entertain in the process as it shares stories gathered from many people, but ultimately tells the playwright’s own story. It is a provocative, hilarious and profoundly moving show worth seeing even if only to feel you are not alone.

"This show will resonate for those who aren't perfectly satisfied with how they look in a bathing suit…… which pretty much means MOST of us!"

Synopsis

Whether undergoing Botox or living under burkhas, women of all cultures and backgrounds feel compelled to change the way they look in order to fit in with their particular culture, in order to be accepted, in order to be good. In the Good Body, Ensler explores their experiences with monologues representing women from Bombay to Beverly Hills. Delivering narratives collected in locker rooms, cell blocks, boardrooms, and bedrooms, Ensler frames their stories with her own personal journey from a self-loathing teenager to a (sometimes) self-accepting adult. A young Latina candidly critiques her humiliating "spread", a stubborn layer of fat that she calls "a second pair of thighs". The wife of a plastic surgeon recounts being systematically reconstructed, inch by inch, by her "perfectionist" husband. An aging magazine executive, still haunted by her mother's long-ago criticism, describes her desperate pursuit of youth as she relentlessly does sit-ups.

Through Ensler’s honest, insightful, and sometimes naughty portrayal of genuine experiences and real-life obsessions, she strips the complicated issue of body politics down to its essence, once again destroying pre-conceived notions about what women really think.

Along the way, we are introduced to women who have found a hard-won peace with their bodies: an African mother who celebrates each individual body as signs of nature's diversity; an Indian woman who transcends "treadmill mania" and delights in her plump cheeks and curves; and a veiled Afghani woman who is willing to risk imprisonment for a taste of ice cream. These are just a few of the inspiring stories woven through Ensler's global journey from obsession to enlightenment. Ultimately, these monologues become a personal wake-up call to love the "good bodies" we inhabit.

Ensler freely admits that body-image issues affect men as well as women. “As I've traveled across America I've been really struck (by) the degree to which men are obsessed with their bodies and self-hating, too. It's really moved me very deeply and opened my mind to ways of considering and thinking about men."

Total running time: 90 minutes
