Plug for Neil LaBute

So this a plug for a play I'd like to see, but probably won't get the chance to. Silly grad school, eating up my time...
If you don't know Neil LaBute- he's a great modern playwright. Reasons to be pretty is the end of a trilogy that includes The Shape of Things and Fat Pig- and they discuss America's obsession with surface beauty.
I have not seen Fat Pig, but have seen The Shape of Things (it was also made into a movie with Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz- good, but the play flows better). His commentary on our obsession with all things shallow is quite good. And his plays aren't fluff- the characters aren't always likable and they ask tough questions- such as what are the lengths people will go to for acceptance? If somethings makes you better/more acceptable in the eyes of society, does how you get there matter? A little Machiavellian, but still good questions worth considering.

So if you go see the play (it's currently playing at the Guthrie), share your thoughts!
