A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dark Comedy / 2w, 4m
Ken Weitzman
Winner! 2003 L. Arnold Weissberger Award
It is important to keep in mind that the characters in this play are desperately trying to save one another, though they may go about doing so in circuitous, troubling, or destructive ways. Stakes should be very high, outsized, even for seemingly small things; a heightened reality. Nothing is casual. This is not a small, intimate, psychological play. Emotions are real but all is anxious, urgent; not false, but heightened
"A fantastic production packed with a beautiful 'arrangement' of hilariously inventive comedy and well developed, touching drama." - San Diego Playbill
"We are reminded that our most self-destructive behavior originates from our profound desire to live and to love. This exploration of gluttony - well written and well executed - is sad and strangely beautiful. We watch Donna as she responds to her pain in a grotesque manner, and we understand that in her own way, she is doing what she can to make it hurt less. At evening's end, we leave knowing we’ve all done the same." - San Diego Writers Monthly
"In a season that saw Eve Ensler obsessing about her tummy on Broadway in the short-lived The Good Body and with Neil LaBute's Fat Pig, a sold-out hit at the Lucille Lortel, Mr. Weitzman's black comedy or 'tale of obsession and consumption' adds yet another delicious take on this subject." - CurtainUp
