Megan Follows Buoyed by its success in 2007, Soulpepper will be remounting Top Girls with its original cast — including Megan Follows — for their 2008 season.

Before its remounting in late October, however, Megan will perform alongside her mother, Dawn Greenhalgh, in the play ‘night, Mother. The Pulitzer Prize-winning (1983) drama by US playwright Marsha Norman deals with the relationship between a daughter and mother, as the daughter slowly reveals her plans to kill herself by day’s end.

‘night, Mother will be performed from May 13 to June 21, 2008, at the Young Centre; Top Girls‘ remounting takes place from October 25 to November 22, 2008, venue unknown at this time.
