CONWAY — Megan Mostyn-Brown’s play “girl.” features at least two references to Liz Phair’s seminal 1993 album “Exile in Guyville,” which was an honest, blunt and raw exploration of being a young woman. Phair described the album as being radical, simply because she was “emotionally forthright.”

It isn’t surprising that “Exile in Guyville” would be one of the influences of “girl.,” which M&D Playhouse is presenting at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in North Conway through Sunday, because it too offers a window into what it means to be a girl and a woman, and the harsh realities of being unseen and having to face societal double standards.
