In this melodramatic and heartwarming one-act play that Meg wrote for herself to star in, she irreverently pays homage to the American TV and movie tropes that shaped her world view.
By accessing her inner Meryl Streep/Kristen Wiig and giving the performance of a lifetime, she embodies an ingénue (coincidentally also named “Meg”) from a small town and the audience is taken on an emotional and moving odyssey as she blossoms into a resilient, fierce and independent woman.
Will there be big, explosive emotions? Absolutely. Will she take things too far? You betcha!
