“This was me, auto-tuning my level of acceptance to his level of need…after all, it’s just clothes, right?”
Has Megan’s life really come to this? Arguing with a teenager whose earlobes had been obnoxiously stretched within a millimeter of splitting, over the availability of crickets at the local pet store? Megan’s a science teacher who has sworn off online dating since the last man she dated may have killed his wife. That is, until one morning she gets an instant message from her friend Carolyn urging her to check out the profile of a guy whose, “just perfect” for her. Despite Megan’s instincts, she clicks on the profile revealing a beautiful man with long blond hair, holding an electric guitar…and a Master’s Degree in Comparative Literature. Should Megan give up solitude in her waterside co-op with her cat and boxed wine and calls from her crazy mother and drug addicted brother? After all, what’s the very worst that can happen?
Justifications, collaborative lies, humor and wine to cover the loneliness, Man in Bra Screams at Sneezing Cat, is a razor sharp examination of one woman’s willingness to emotionally look the other way for a shot at finding love. Or at least, someone to split the bills with.
