About this ebook
A sharply drawn critique of society's slavish adherence to Hollywood ideals of beauty.
In Fat Pig, Neil LaBute boldly questions our own ability to change what we dislike about ourselves. Tom falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus sized-and then some. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow (although shockingly funny) friends, Tom must confront his own preconceptions about the importance of conventional good looks.
Through this thought-provoking play, LaBute critiques our societal obsession with appearance and challenges us to examine our personal biases. Fat Pig is a poignant and provocative exploration of love, friendship, and the pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty.
