What's On

The Whale
 

The Whale tells the story of a 600-pound obese man who hides from the world.  Charlie cannot stop eating to the detriment of everyone around him, including his daughter.
 

Desperate to reconnect with this long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen.

Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale is the story of a man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
 

The 2022 Academy Award winning movie (starring Brendan Fraser) was adapted from Hunter's play.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
