At face value, a play about a 600-pound recluse who’s slowly eating himself to death sounds miserable. Granted, Charlie’s story is a sad one. But Robert Ellis brings a lovingness and nobility to his character that is uplifting, as the dying man forms a fragile community of people who care about each other.

If you are a fan of shows that deliver hard hitting emotion, this is the one show you will not want to miss. You will find yourself drawn in to a swirling cauldron of despair, anger, self pity and addiction. After seeing this show you are guaranteed to feel better about your life by comparison no matter what.

Christine Howey


Much like its protagonist, in this play there is a wonderful entity struggling to fight its way out of the smothering confines in which it finds itself. And this production only succeeds in fits and starts.

dynamite production.
