The Shape of Things

How far would you go for love? For art? What price are you willing to pay? In Neil LaBute’s The Shape of Things, the playwright peels back the skin of a modern relationship and reveals the dark side of these questions. Evelyn and Adam are two graduates who meet in the museum of a conservative midwestern town. The evolution of their relationship brings about the transformation of one of them in the tradition of Pygmalion. But is it for love, for art or just a dark journey into the human psyche?
