WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tom starts to fall for Helen. Helen wears a "larger size". Can Tom put aside all the cruelty and sarcasm of his colleagues and friends about his deepening relationship with an overweight woman and follow his heart? Neil LaBute's play traces the courtship of two people who truly care for one another set against a world that ridicules and ostracizes those who do not fit into a Hollywood realm of ideal beauty and scathingly questions the superficial values of the world of today. Jo Bonney directs.
Presented by MCC Theater.

Neil LaBute has a knack for exposing the underside of human behavior, the almost casual cruelty that one person can inflict upon another. His feature film debut, In the Company of Men, sparked controversy for its cynical depiction of two male co-workers who relieve their boredom by deciding to both court a deaf woman, build up her self-esteem, and then simultaneously dump her. LaBute's stage play The Shape of Things featured a manipulative female artist who drove a wedge between her boyfriend and his best friends as part of an aesthetic exercise. In his terrific new play Fat Pig, presented by MCC Theater, LaBute shows the pettiness of individuals who deride others for their physical appearan[...]
