FAT UGLY PIGS ON CAMERA

by Greg Hovanesian

FULL-LENGTH: Sue has some problems. In a world where women, as opposed to men, run the internet porn industry, she’s a successful producer. But that success has bred enemies: the courts, the FBI, and of course, her own child.

As her world unravels, and as people who she love become irrevocably damaged, the cameras continue to roll, capturing scenes of love for millions to see.

    "People kill what they love. It’s what they do. ... It’s the curse of being human." This line! THIS LINE! It perfectly sums up Hovanesian's provocative play with the equally provocative title.

    I liked this play as an indictment of the misogynist system in which America finds itself. Hovanesian uses role reversal to good effect. There are some solid female parts in it. The play is about human dysfunction [no, not that kind] and the accumulation of bad choices. Definitely worth a read.
