Written and performed by Bridget McCarthy

Born out of a love for stand up comedy and Shakespeare, this solo show explores snapshots of life as a young woman cobbles
together an identity and grapples with the way others see her.

Performed as part stand-up, part movement piece, all direct address, Fat Juliet invites the audience to participate in a journey that is a love letter to the absurdity of growing up, to first crushes, to the image, to discovering sex, to becoming a woman, to being part of a community, to dealing with trauma, and to finding true love.

Running time: 57 minutes

Content Note: Fat Juliet contains discussion of religious trauma, sex, death of family members, and frank discussion of eating disorder behaviors. It utilizes adult language throughout. Please take care of yourself.
