Theatre

Madonna’s seductress, where she was described as combining ”sexiness and solitude”. Megan then earned the London Theatregoers’ Choice Award for Best Actress in 2007 for the one-woman show My Name is Rachel Corrie. It was about an activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer during a 2003 demonstration in Gaza. The show then opened at the Royal Court Theatre in London. A move was planned to the New York Theatre Workshop, but in the Fall of 2005, it was canceled. This was amidst rumors that the Workshop feared possible response to the show’s political content.

She fought against the imposed indefinite delay, and the debate of censorship on such a sensitive issue at the time of the post-Iraq war debate became publicized by The New York Times. Following a successful run in London’s West End, the show finally played to a sellout audience at the off-Broadway Minetta Lane Theatre in early 2006.
