“No one holds a mirror up to human nature like Neil
LaBute, the brutally honest, brilliantly hilarious
writer behind such films as The Company of Men, Your
Friends and Neighbors and Nurse Betty. While his scripts
and screenplays have been redefining the dialogue of
contemporary America, our sharpest observer of sexual
relations has paid special attention to our obsession
with physical beauty in a trilogy [that] promises to be
a rousing, razor-sharp look at ourselves.” |

“How far would you go for love? For art? What would you
be willing to change? What price might you pay? This
play tells the story of Adam, a shy, overweight, young
college student, who falls in love with Evelyn, a
strong, sexy graduate art student. After a chance
meeting a museum, they embark on an intense relationship
that causes Adam to change nearly everything about his
life and forever changes his relationship with his best
friends and his understanding of the power of love.”

“How many insults can you hear before you have to stand
up and defend the woman you love? In Fat Pig, Tom, a
thirty-something, in shape, urban professional, falls
for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman - who
happens to be very plus-size. Forced to explain his new
relationship to his shallow (and shockingly funny)
friends, he finally comes to terms with his own
preconceptions of the importance of conventional good
looks. This hit off-Broadway play is hilariously funny,
deeply moving, and painfully honest in its understanding
of modern relationships.” DTC |

“How much is pretty worth? Playwright LaBute confronts
America's obsession with physical beauty headlong in
this brutal and exhilarating play, nominated for three
Tony Awards last year. Greg's tight-knit circle of
friends is thrown into turmoil when his off-handed
remarks about a female co-worker's pretty face gets back
to his girlfriend. Their relationship begins to crumble.
Their friends are pulled into the fray. And all are
forced to confront a sea of deceit, infidelity, and
betrayed trust in their journey to understand the power
and dangers of beauty in contemporary America.” DTC |
