Don't Look at the Fat Lady: a monologue in one act - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When Gloria Dickey dies, it’s going to capture people’s attention. The six hundred-pound woman who hadn’t left her couch in seven years. The paramedics, unable to extract her from the couch, who knocked out a wall of her home and placed her- along with the couch- on the back of a flatbed truck. The mystified doctors who found Gloria’s body had effectively become one with the fabric of her furniture. The commentaries, hot takes, and late night monologue jokes she’ll inspire. When Gloria dies, people will look on in horror, and ask “How did this happen?”
But in this moment, Gloria Dickey is still very much alive. This thoughtful, snarky, faithful, pop culture-obsessed woman has taken notes, and is eager to share her observations- on God, sex, beauty, Katie Couric, sisterhood, and a culture that is obsessed with food, but terrified of fat.
Inspired by the true story of the Florida woman who “became her couch,” Topher’s Payne’s witty and heartbreaking monologue takes audiences on an unexpected journey, with an exceptional tour guide.

"Gloria is someone you want to know. Topher Payne translated a sensational death into a beautiful life."
