This play by Neil LaBute, called Fat Pig and starring Kerri Russell, sounds intriguing. But did the writer really have to refer to the overweight character as a "porker"? Sure, it's a pun, but still.
So what's the Big Fat Deal? Well, at the risk of getting all mission-statementy, I think it's important to call attention to issues of weight in the media, pop culture, and society. If we can convince at least one teenage girl that Ashley Olsen isn't "the fat twin," we will have done our job.
