Fat Chance

Written & Performed by Rachel Stockdale. Directed by Jonluke McKie.
"I'm not saying I'm not beautiful. I'm saying I'm fat AND beautiful"

Meet Rachel – a 20-something actress from Boro whose funny, celebratory and politically powerful one-woman play explores her true-life experience of weight gain from size 8 to 18. From audition nerves and throwaway comments to literally breaking a leg this play is for:

Anyone who's felt like they had to shrink themselves

Anyone who's adapted to be more palatable to others

Anyone who's ever put on or lost weight and been treated differently

Anyone who had free school dinners

Anyone who feels they don't fit.

This unconventional show looks at the pitfalls of trying to have it all.

Reviews:
North East Bylines ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

"On rare occasions, if you're lucky, you get to see a theatre performer who changes the way you see the world. So it was when Rachel Stockdale held stage and audience… in Fat Chance."

The Crack Magazine ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

"I've never felt an audience collectively hold its breath in sheer shock and anticipation. This is raw and this is real."

The Arts Business ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

"A remarkable first production. I have no doubt she will move onto great things."
