The Whale by Samuel D. Hunter

Presented by none too fragile at None Too Fragile Theater, Akron OH

Feb 03 - 18 2017
The Whale by Samuel D. Hunter

On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a six hundred pound recluse hides away in his apartment, and slowly eats himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his 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 tells the story of a man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
