FAT PIG is a bitingly funny romance about Tom, a handsome, ambitious
young man who hits it off with Helen, a bright, sexy, plus-sized
woman. As their friendship turns to love, Tom's colleagues are brutally
cruel in their assessment of his new companion. Underneath the crass
title of FAT PIG, LaBute tells a gentle love story and probes our
carb-counting, extreme makeover nation by asking the tough question,
"Has our relentless pursuit of beauty turned us into an uglier
species?"
"Critic's Pick! Striking and bold, it's one of Neil LaBute's
best plays" - Chicago Tribune
