Meat Suit
Writer & Director - Aya Ogawa
Description: Weight gain. Amnesia. Insomnia. Body dysmorphia. Exhaustion. Isolation. Blood, vomit, shit. Loss of sex drive. And the greatest love of your life. Everyone talks about how wonderful and life-changing motherhood can be — but why is something viewed as so positive also so horribly painful, frustrating, debilitating and seemingly impossible? A new ensemble play about the shit show that is motherhood.
