Meg

Meg

Overview

With the action of A Man for All Seasons as backdrop, Meg explores the forces imprisoning Margaret More, daughter of Sir Thomas More. “Meg,” uniquely isolated from her time and environment, finds being an intelligent, independent woman in such a male-dominated society to be a double-edged sword. The play intertwines several themes on multiple levels: the story of Sir Thomas More as seen through his daughter’s eyes; the story of a young wife and mother that also explores dynamics of the father-daughter relationship as Meg discovers her role in both her father’s legacy, and her own place in history.
