Neil LaBute‘s hit story The Shape of Things returns and is as captivating as ever. The show previously made its world premiere at the Almeida Theatre in 2001, starring the incredible Rachel Weisz and Paul Rudd. This gripping and spine-tingling play is a powerful look into American university life, with themes of stoicism, art and its limitations, psychopathy and intimacy. It powerfully examines people’s inherent willingness to do things for love and challenges our perceptions of what is acceptable in relationships.

About The Shape of Things

How far will someone go for love? What are they willing to change?

This fast-moving and thrilling piece of theatre takes place on a college campus in small-town America and focuses on relationships, art and friendship. However, in this story, nothing is picture perfect.

Meet Adam, a geeky young student who finds himself drifting into an ever-changing romance with art major Evelyn. With Evelyn's encouragement, Adam begins to improve his appearance, soon discovering a newfound confidence. All seems well, until his best friends’ engagement begins to crumble, thus unleashing a drama that peels back the ‘skin’ of two modern-day relationships.
