I hope this play gets produced very soon. It says some really interesting things about society's obsession with thinness. It's a black comedy about a woman wanting to be accepted no matter her size. Well-written and nuanced representation of queer love too.

This play is amazing! Meaker uses heightened theatricality so well to draw stark attention to the ways society pits women and femme folk against one another and themselves and their bodies in so many ways. They tackle body image, disordered eating, fatness/fitness, health provider gaslighting, and a lot more. They manage to do this in a play that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking and scary--fine lines to straddle. I also appreciated the nuanced and complex and just so natural queer representation. I'd love to see this produced!

Mickey's monologue half-way through the play had me wiping away tears. It all felt so familiar while remaining a bit surreal. This dark comedy will stick with me for a while. We are constantly being told about the thin woman inside of us, if only we would let her out. But once she's out, what darkness or emptiness will take her place? And will this just be the first reveal in a never ending nesting doll of reaching for an unreachable ideal?
