The Shape of Things

Black Swan State Theatre Company presents The HotBed Ensemble

14 May - 30 May 2010
PICA Performance Space

by Neil LaBute

A chance meeting between Evelyn, a renegade art student and Adam, a nerdy English Lit Major, sets in motion a cautionary tale of deceit and manipulation.

Evelyn offers Adam the tools to dramatically reinvent himself both physically and psychologically. Though how far should you go for the one you love?

A shocking dissection of cruelty, seduction and the artistic process, The Shape of Things has a startling twist, which has made this work a modern American classic. Adding to the HotBed Ensemble's list of outstanding collective projects, Neil LaBute's most successful and savage work.

Featuring the 2010 HotBed Ensemble
