  • Tiny Thin Woman Inside
    16 Sep. 2019
    Courtney Meaker's "Tiny Thin Woman Inside" blends a biting dark humor and touching human connection in this increasingly surreal (yet horrifyingly truthful) descent into a culture relentlessly obsessed with selling women a thinner, lesser version of themselves. The play explores bodies, queerness, and our (quite literal) battles with our inner demons. I've never read a play before that so honestly and brutally articulated what it means to be fat in a world that constantly demands that we either be a lesser version of ourselves or not ourselves at all.
