And Fat Blokes is shaped with a real sense of care. It takes pains to put its four performers at ease and grant them control over how they’re seen. Marty Langthorne’s gentle lighting casts a warm glow: never too stark or too bright. Often it throws the five bodies into artful silhouette, showing off their outlines without exposing their weight. You see shapes, not sags; figures, not flab. It lends them real definition—the very thing shorthand might say they lack—and, cast in shadow, they become abstract and alluring.
