The Whale

The original stage triumph before it became an Oscar winning movie

An Amateur Production by Arrangement with ORiGiN Theatrical, on behalf of Samuel French Inc. - A Concord Theatricals Company

Written by Samuel D. Hunter
Directed by Geoff Brittain

7 - 16 November 2025
Little Theatre

The Whale tells the story of a 600-pound obese man who hides from the world.

Charlie cannot stop eating to the detriment of everyone around him, including his daughter.

Desperate to reconnect with this 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 is the story of a man's last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.

The 2022 Academy Award winning movie (starring Brendan Fraser) was adapted from Hunter's play.
