Falling in love with big people is no small feat
Pangdemonium stages an American black comedy that exposes the tender spots, reports HELMI YUSOF
LOOK at the picture accompanying the story. Does this woman look fat to you? Would you date her, get serious with her and maybe marry her if things worked out?
What if your friends made fun of you? What if your family objects? What if almost everything you see, from advertisements to TV shows and movies, depict slimness as the only physical measure of desirability? Could your love overcome them all?
You may say "hell, yes, I think she's cute" now - as does Tom, the male protagonist in Pangdemonium's new play - but societal pressure might just pummel, smack and swing that answer into negative territory.
