What amazed me while watching Megan perform in 'Night Mother was that she effortlessly disappeared in her role. I wondered before seeing this performance if my multiple viewings of the Anne movies was going to dampen my perception of the performance. (Was I going to feel like I was watching the girl playing Anne Shirley try to play against type?) But I never felt that way once during her performance. She colored every line with subtlety and grace, allowing us to internalize her hurt, rage, and ultimately resignation. At one point, she looks away from her mother (whose attempting to prevent her from taking her life) and stares towards the audience with a look that suggests that her sprit has been sucked out of her. It's at this point when the mother says (paraphrasing), "I think I've already lost you!" It was a powerful, indelible moment!

I waited afterwards for a pic and autograph, worrying that I would say something stupid. After about twenty minutes or so, she gently tiptoed out of stage door with her costume still on, and as soon as I got my turn, I was delighted by her humor and self-effacing matter (and -- this is probably always the case when you meet somebody you've only seen on TV, movies, or the stage -- but I was also surprised by how tiny she was!). When I asked to take a picture with her, she gladly agreed, adding, "I'll be glad to take a picture with you in all my glamour!"

It was a wonderful evening that left me very, very happy! Can't wait to see her again in Top Girls this fall!

Back in summer of 07, I had the pleasure of going to Toronto and see Megan in Top girls. After the play had finsihed this man said to wait right here. So my father and I did. About 5 or so minutes Megan came out. I was amazed that was Megan Follows we chatted for a good while and she gladly signed my hard cover Anne book and got a picture which she was glad about. Megan is a great actresses she is also a sweet lady very kind and down to earth.
