“Fat Pig”

Val and I went to see our friend Karen in the Box Car Theater production of Neil LaBute’s “Fat Pig“, in San Francisco. The show is described as:

“[A] beautiful, sharp, and poignant comedic drama digs deep into our soul, questions our preconceived notions about love and the worthiness of people different from ourselves, specifically in this show, people of different shapes and sizes.”

It was an excellent production, and amusing because Karen played Carter, a part usually played by a man. She played the part as a butch dyke, adding another dimension to the complex relationships in this play. It is an emotional play, and well played. We got to meet the other cast members afterwards, and Val got all of their autographs on our program.

Beforehand we just did a web search for restaurants nearby and ended up at the Burmese Kitchen on Larkin. Yummy!
