Overview
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.

Author Information
I acted professionally through out Canada for 12 years. I have written and produced a feature film entitled SIX. A little book called SPOON TIME and this One act play...SHAPELESS. I am an avid outdoorsman and love to write. Sadly over the years my wiriting has gotten away from me. But I'm back and going to go at it full time once again. It amazes me now what we can do with getting our works out there. ie Self Publishing on Amazon. I am excited about getting my old and future works out there. I grew up in Ajax Ontario, moved to Toronto and lived there for years. I have been married 10 years this year and we have lived in Bracebridge, Haliburton, Port Hope and now Kingston Ontario. My wife and I are in our early forties and still finding ourselves. As frustrating as that can be it has never been boring. LOL. Thank you for reading me. Sean
