Dodds left the U.S. for London in 1997 to star in British comedian Ben Elton's play Popcorn.[2] As a result of meeting her future husband, photographer Oliver Pearce, she stayed in London,[2] about which she has said, "I love it here, I really feel like I learn a lot. There’s a lot of variety in terms of work."[5]
Theatre
In Up for Grabs (2006, Wyndham's Theatre, London), Dodds played a technology entrepreneur, co-starring with Madonna as Mindy, Madonna's seductress, where she was described as combining "sexiness and solitude".[6]
Dodds won the London Theatregoers' Choice Award for Best Actress in 2007 for the one woman show My Name Is Rachel Corrie,[7] about an activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer during a 2003 demonstration in Gaza.[7][2] A planned opening at the New York Theatre Workshop was cancelled in Fall 2005.[2]
Dodds portrayed a "more conventionally beautiful" Marguerite as stepsister to Cinderella in Ever After (1998), a romance where Dodds' character is further described as "scarier than any ugly stepsisters that came before her, especially as it appears, briefly, that she has a legitimate shot at winning the prince".[11]
Personal life
After relocating to England in 1997, Dodds met Oliver Pearce, fashion and advertising photographer. They later married and they have one child.[2]

Wide-eyed in the case of Sian Thomas's inebriated Brit (is there any other kind?), and humiliated and on the outs in the case of the randy and druggy dot-com millionaires played by Daniel Pino and Megan Dodds.

[Quote:] Even better than having a nice stepsister, Ever After also makes one of them especially pretty — perhaps even more conventionally beautiful than Cinderella herself. Megan Dodds' Marguerite is scarier than any ugly stepsisters that came before her, especially as it appears, briefly, that she has a legitimate shot at winning the prince.

1 2 Billington, Michael (23 May 2002). "Up For Grabs"(theatrical review). The Guardian. Retrieved 27 January 2017. [Quote:] Madonna is not positively bad: just technically awkward. But, fortunately, she is buttressed by strong supporting players. Sian Thomas, who can get a laugh simply through the flick of an eyelid, is superb as a Courtauld-trained consultant longing to get her revenge on the corporate world. Megan Dodds, as the dotcom entrepreneur who starts by seducing Madonna and ends up falling in love, combines sexiness and solitude. And Michael Lerner blusters effectively as a crude buyer for whom art is a means of appeasing his wife.
