The play, set in Moscow, Idaho, tells the story of an obese man who hides from the world and stays in his apartment. He cannot stop eating to the detriment of everyone around him. Desperate to reconnect with his 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 tells the story of a man's last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
