V-Day, founded by author, playwright and activist Eve Ensler, presents the V-Day Talkbacks following select performances during Abingdon Theatre Company's New York premiere engagement of Ensler's Fruit Trilogy. The series, will feature activists, artists, and thinkers leading discussions surrounding the play's central themes on the commodification and ownership of women's bodies along with returning to and learning to love the body. Fruit Trilogy is a play that speaks to these explosive times and charts the journey of women, from the disembodiment that comes from violence to the embodiment that comes from self-love.
