Adaptations: On the Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking me as her Young Lover and On the Conditions and Possibilities of Hillary Clinton Taking me as her Young Lover, and Richard Meros Salutes the Southern Man (2012), with Geoff Pinfield. Meek was the performer in each of these solo shows. As one reviewer noted, "Meek is the ideal thespian suitor to Meros' satyric satire." As an actor, his roles have included performing in several of his own works, such as the solo show Erewhon Revisited, Dean Parker's The Hollow Men, Emily Perkins' New Zealand adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House and Lungs by Duncan McMillan.
