'LaBute takes us to shadowy places we don't like to talk about,
sometimes even to think about.' Newsday Obsession with surface and
secrets runs through this second collection of Neil LaBute's work.
The Shape of Things peels back the skin of modern-day relationships
to ask how far someone might change themselves for love, or for
art. In Fat Pig, a man confronts his friends' - and his own -
fixation with Hollywood ideals of beauty when he falls for a 'plus
size' young woman. In a Dark Dark House and In a Forest, Dark and
Deep are twin tales of sibling conflict. In the first, estranged
brothers must reconcile conflicting memories, after one asks for
corroboration of childhood abuse. In the second, a man's offer to
help his sister clear out her cottage brings a terrible confession
into the light. The Shape of Things 'What initially seems a
touching study of student romance develops instead into a
passionate discussion about the way art feeds on life.' Daily
Telegraph Fat Pig 'As large as Helen is, the tender heart of the
play is easily twice as big.' Variety In a Dark Dark House 'LaBute
toys with expectations and takes pleasure in our discomfort... The
play does lead to a pretty dark place - but the ending is not
without hope.' Daily Mail In a Forest, Dark and Deep 'It is billed
as being about sibling rivalry, but in fact majors on far deeper,
dangerous things: the yearning to be understood, female
manipulation, and fascinated male disgust at a sister's lurid
sexuality.' The Times
