FAT CHANCE

Written & Performed by Rachel Stockdale | Directed by Jonluke McKie

I’m not saying I’m not beautiful. I’m saying I’m fat AND beautiful!

Meet Rachel – a 20-something actress from Boro whose funny, celebratory and politically powerful one-woman play explores her true-life experience of weight gain from size 8 to 18.

From audition nerves and throwaway comments to literally breaking a leg, this unconventional play is for:

Anyone who’s felt like they had to shrink themselves.

Anyone who’s put on or lost weight.

Anyone who feels like they don’t fit.
