Red Stitch Actors Theatre presents the Australian premiere of Fatboy, the award-winning play by writer, director and co-founder of the New York International Fringe Festival, John Clancy. In this satire on the
insatiable appetites of first world countries, the characters are over-sized, the plot line surreal, and the language swoops between melodramatic grandeur and brute obscenity.

Fatboy is on trial for crimes against humanity. The court has difficulty making a case, and the drunken judge and hapless prosecutor are reduced to calling Fatboy's hateful and selfish wife Fudgie to give evidence against him. An allegory about responsibility versus willful ignorance, this timely send up of contemporary global politics takes us on Fatboy's journey to conquer the world, or at least eat most of it. Including the furniture.
