It was pretty fun and had really funny moments. The joke got old really fast though, which I think is because I was reading it and not seeing it performed. If I saw it performed, I’m sure I would really enjoy it because the premise is a hoot.

Wildly unexpected fatphobia played for jokes in Act 2 Scene 2 (quote):

Marry, sir, she’s the kitchen-wench, and all grease; and I know not what use to put her to, but to make a lamp of her, and run from her by her own light. I warrant, her rags, and the tallow in them, will burn a Poland winter: if she lives till doomsday, she’ll burn a week longer than the whole world.

It eventually turns into a geography joke, but this was an unexpectedly dark yikes.
