Fat Swan
Trevor Ashley is Natalie Portly in Fat Swan, a comedy about the trials and tribulations of a dancer with an unfortunate condition.
Overview
Natalie Portly has dysmorphia, a mental illness that creates and unhealthy fixation on body image and a preoccupation with perceived unwanted physical defects. This is a pretty hard condition for an aspiring ballet dancer to have, right?
Fat Swan is a production starring Trevor Ashley, a Helpmann Award nominated performer. The show follows Trevor’s character, Natalie, as she struggles with her overbearing mother, her psychotic choreographer and her rival.
Playing for a short time at The Powerhouse, Fat Swan is a reportedly hilarious and touching story about a ballerina’s attempts to become a star. It features a cast of well-known Australian performers, ‘fleshing’-out the Phil Scott written script.
This is an 18+ performance due to the mature themes within the story.
