With Eat, Slay, Leave, playwright Heather Meyer attempts one of the 鈥渓ast frontiers鈥� of theatre: horror on stage. Not only horror, but comedic horror. The play centers on Jessica, Gretchen, and Amy, three Millennial women treating themselves to a 鈥渟elf-care鈥� weekend at a remote cabin in Minnesota. It turns out that they鈥檙e in for a lot more than they bargained for when three terrifying supernatural forces show up. Each force represents Jessica, Gretchen, and Amy鈥檚 dark side and forces them to confront the same personality flaws that they鈥檙e working to erase. Eat, Slay, Leave is an inventive play with a satirical take on self-care and the power of embracing our own imperfections. It鈥檚 an ideal fit for community theatres looking for a play with diverse casting options and a strong female-identifying or non-binary ensemble.
