The Shape of Things

'Neil LaBute is an original voice - the best playwright to emerge in the past decade - a genius.' The New Yorker

How far would you go for love? What would you be willing to change?

Adam is a shy, overweight and under-bearing literature student balancing several jobs to pay his way at university. While working in the campus museum, he catches Evelyn in the act of defacing an artwork. Their electric rapport quickly develops into romance.

Inspired by their deepening relationship, Adam cleans up his lifestyle and improves his wardrobe. He loses weight. He gains confidence. His friends, Jenny and Phillip watch on, unnerved and fascinated.

But is his change for good or ill? Ditching a dodgy jacket is one thing, but how is Adam's transformation affecting his soul?

This multi Green Room Award nominated production will leave you questioning your morality and the way you judge appearances.
