SHAPELESS is a One Act Play. A dark, satirical play within a play. It takes on eating disorders and body image in a not so typical manner. Four friends attempt to put on a play about eating disorders but cannot get past their own inhibitions to do so. It is not what you would expect. We have the game show NAME THOSE FLAWS. There is a scene with Adam and Eve and Dancing with food to name a few. It's a fast scenic play that is both gross, disgusting and enlightening. SHAPELESS played in Toronto at the Tarragon Theatre and had a very successful run. National Eating Disorder Awareness Week Picked it up and had it as their finale and it played at The Robert Gill Theatre in Toronto. My Name is Sean Carthew and I have a degree in acting from the University of Windsor. I have had a book, this play and a feature film produced. I feel that Shapeless makes a great read as it is not what you would expect when dealing with this issue. It will read differently for all as it is very visual and people will visualize it in many different ways. I think it should be on the stage again. Someone should pick it up and run with it as I feel it is very important and would make a great play for young people to do and/or what be a fantastic touring production as there is little or no production costs. I hope you enjoy it.
