Our Current Production
Fat Pig
by Neil LaBute
A poignant look at the taboo
surrounding obesity.
Neil Lebute’s play Fat Pig offers a poignant look at the
prejudice directed at overweight women. The play’s protagonist, Helen,
is an endearing and lively woman who happens to be quite obese. Quite
to his own surprise (and, eventually, his delight) Tom, a young
professional, falls in love with her. The ridicule he experiences and
his ever present awareness of the cultural taboo attached to women of
size motivates the play’s action.
Will the pressure to conform to
societal standards of beauty ultimately outweigh Tom’s attraction to
Helen?
