Written by Madeleine George and directed by Nicole Mullins, the Strand Theater Company’s production of “The Most Massive Woman Wins” is a powerful meditation on women’s deep hunger for respect in a world that frequently denies their full humanity.
The cast of four talented actors brings the piece to life with an intensity and emotional range…This is truly a production not to be missed.
Set in the waiting room of a liposuction clinic, four women sit anxiously before surgery, attempting to distract themselves until the fear bubbles to the surface and they take turns sharing their stories all brimming with decades of deep hurt and humiliation that convinced them a doctor’s scalpel would take away their pain.
