The Whale

Produced at Generic Theatre in spring of 2017.

The clear pièce de résistance of the show was the fatsuit. As fatsuits are usually a comedy device, and Samuel D. Hunter's play had only been produced and photographed a handful of times up to the time of Generic's production, I had very few resources on how the suit ought to be constructed. This ultimately led to a lot of research and experimentation.

The result was a suit that looked remarkably realistic and moved naturally with the actor's body.

Photos of the suit with no clothes on can be seen below.
