Fat Juliet
One Woman's Thoughts About Shakespeare, God, and AC/DC
Written and Performed by Bridget McCarthy
Direction by Lindsay Bytof
Born out of a love for stand up comedy and Shakespeare, this solo show explores snapshots of life as a young woman cobbles
together an identity and grapples with the way others see her.
Performed as part stand-up, part movement piece, all
direct address, Fat Juliet invites the audience to participate
in a journey that is a love letter to the absurdity
of growing up, to first crushes, to image, to discovering sex,
to becoming a woman, to being part of a community, to dealing with trauma, and to finding true love.
Run Time: 63 Minutes

PRAISE FOR FAT JULIET
"McCarthy's energy and verve as a performer are fierce...She is funny and confrontational and her confidence inspires us..."
