In Birds in the Meadow, a husband and wife travel across the country, stopping at a quiet trailer park. As they journey, Joan becomes increasingly unsettled by news reports detailing widespread abuse and mistreatment of women. Troubled and overwhelmed, she wrestles with feelings of helplessness and the urgent need to take action. The play explores her emotional struggle and the difficult question of how—if at all—one person can make a meaningful difference in the face of systemic injustice.
