SYNOPISIS:
The play that inspired the 2022 Academy Award Winning Film
The Whale by Samuel D. Hunter is a poignant drama that revolves around Charlie, a 600-pound recluse, who hides away in his apartment and slowly eats himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen. Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale tells the story of a man's last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
Due to subject matter and profanity this play is NOT intended for children.
*Content warning: The Whale explores difficult conversations around binge eating, mental health issues, and alcohol abuse.
