A Story With Sharp Teeth
Tom, an ambitious corporate climber, stumbles into a romance with Helen, a foul-mouthed, irresistibly funny woman who defies current beauty standards with her fuller figure. As their relationship deepens, office jokes and jabs about Helen’s body begin to poison their lives, testing Tom’s loyalty and faith in brutal ways.
Why It Stings
Neil LaBute’s satire skewers modern ideals of beauty and success, asking how far people must reshape themselves to belong. The celebrated American playwright and screenwriter’s hit comedy arrives on a Hungarian stage for the first time. Premiering Off-Broadway in 2004, Fat Pig was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.
