by Neil LaBute
Directed by Barbara Damashek
Does size really matter? In this alternately funny yet poignant play, LaBute continues his exploration of body consciousness in contemporary America with Fat Pig, the second in a trilogy that began with The Shape of Things (produced by Aurora in 2002).
Traditionally handsome Tom falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy woman, who also happens to be plus-sized. Cornered and pressured to explain his new relationship to his perplexed friends, Tom must come to terms with his own preconceived notions about the importance of conventional good looks. Additionally, this play questions our capacity to change what we find unattractive about ourselves.
Neil LaBute is a playwright, screenwriter and director best known for the play (and film) In the Company of Men and the films Nurse Betty and Your Friends & Neighbors.
