ABOUT
The bigger the heart, the bigger the heartbreak.
Weighing in at almost 600 pounds, Charlie is a gentle but grieving giant, beached on a couch in Northern Idaho. Following a cardiac episode, he decides to reach out, after years of estrangement, to his troubled teenage daughter. This big-hearted drama won MTC’s 2011 Sky Cooper New Play Prize.
“Beautifully devastating, remarkably eloquent” – Chicago Tribune
