Not Woman Enough

Bubbly Vivian is rearing to explore sex but is finding the act immensely painful. 26-year-old Beatrice, whose breasts make up two-thirds of the dynamic trio of her identity, is shaken by the invasion of breast cancer. And Ivy, an overachiever, struggles to reach a goal for the first time in her life - having a baby.

Like being privy to an adult slumber party after the 5th round of never-have-I-ever, Not Woman Enough is a shocking, gut-wrenching and snort-laughingly bare-all conversation into the wonder of womanhood through the lens of three different Asian women.

“Not Woman Enough is a powerful and sharp exploration of Asian women and their relationship to sex, the body, and gender. Centered on the stories of three very different pan-Asian women navigating three very different struggles, the performance taps into the (often hushed) realities of womanhood…A work that never feels overdone or too performative, this play is both hilarious and poignant all at once. Not Woman Enough has opened up a space for these hushed and taboo conversations to take place, showing the importance of theatre in contemporary society.”
