Forest Collective: Fat Pig – The Opera

How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love?

Tom faces just that question when he falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus-sized—and then some. As Tom faces the taunts and judgment of his peers, Fat Pig questions whether anyone can really see past the surface.

Adapted from Neil LaBute’s award-winning 2004 play, by Australian librettist Miriam Gordon-Stewart and American composer, Matt Boehler, this black comedy examines the nature of beauty and attraction, revealing the operatic reserves of human truth that lie beneath the surface of a workplace rom-com.
