With Michelle
Obama and Sarah Palin occupying opposite camps in the War on
Obesity, countless celebrities extolling the rewards of Jenny Craig,
and The Biggest Loser a runaway sensation on reality TV, Pidge Meade
changes the game of “thin at any cost” to become the biggest winner
in her enlightening one-woman show.
Developed with and directed by San Francisco solo theatre legend
Charlie Varon, Meade takes audiences on a heart-pounding,
hair-raising, society-skewering, weight-loss rollercoaster ride,
spinning between ten different characters, while tenderly and
hilariously shining a spotlight on the merry-go-round of yo-yo
dieting.
Blending memoir
and satire, Meade tells
her own story, but also brings to urgent life the entire modern
weight-loss carnival of juice fasters and mindful masticators,
cookies and calorie counts. Meade
mesmerizes with a riveting tale that refuses pat answers to the hard
questions about how and why we eat our hearts out.
