Playwright Eve Ensler went to New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and held a series of writing workshops with the female inmates, challenging them to express their anger and frustration through the written word. The result is a series of monologues that are eventually performed by some of Hollywood's most recognizable faces (Glenn Close, Rosie Perez, Marisa Tomei). Inspiring, uplifting, and moving, WHAT I WANT MY WORDS TO DO TO YOU is as educating as it is entertaining. [More]

The most worthwhile parts of What I Want My Words to Do to You ... happen not onstage or in actors' rehearsals, but in the writing workshops, where no stars are present.
