Overview
One of Mardi Gras' most anticipated theatrical offerings, the Old Fitz Theatre’s production of Samuel D Hunter’s The Whale is an occasionally harrowing, fiercely funny, and ultimately touching tale of a man’s last chance at redemption.
Set deep in Mormon country in Idaho, Charlie, a six-hundred pound (three-hundred kilo) homosexual recluse, hides away in his apartment as he slowly eats himself to death. However, before he gives into gustatory suicide Charlie decides to reconnect with his estranged daughter and the play follows their fraught attempts to reconcile their past.
Perhaps not one for the faint of heart this excellent production provides pathos in spades.
