Fat Pig - Part of The Beauty Plays Trilogy
by Neil Labute
Directed by Kevin Moriarty

March 12 - May 9, 2010

Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre • Studio Theatre

In which the obsession with thinness is the axis of sharp social comedy.

How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love? In Fat Pig, Tom, a thirty-something, in shape, urban professional, falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman - who happens to be very plus-size. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow (and shockingly funny) friends, he finally comes to terms with his own preconceptions of the importance of conventional good looks. This hit off-Broadway play is hilariously funny, deeply moving, and painfully honest in its understanding of modern relationships.

Adult language, sexual situations and mature themes.
