Former Skins star Megan Prescott is embarking on her most daring role yet, taking to the stage as a stripper in the theatrical adaptation of Caitlin Moran's wildly successful novel, 'How to Build a Girl'.
The actress, who captivated audiences as Katie Fitch in the iconic E4 series, is trading television for the raw intensity of live theatre. The play, which premieres at London's prestigious Hammersmith Riverside Studios, follows the coming-of-age journey of a teenage girl in the 1990s.
In a candid revelation, Megan discussed the physical and mental preparation required for the provocative role. "It's a challenging and empowering character to portray," she shared, highlighting the rigorous dance rehearsals and deep character analysis needed to bring authenticity to the performance.
The role marks a significant departure from her previous work and showcases her versatility as a performer. Prescott's involvement has generated considerable buzz, drawing attention from both loyal Skins fans and theatre enthusiasts eager to see Moran's beloved story brought to life on stage.
The production promises to be a bold, unflinching, and humorous exploration of teenage rebellion and self-discovery, with Prescott's performance set to be a central talking point.
