The Shape of Things
by Neil Labute
Prairie Arts Center
July 12th through July 21st
A contemporary playwright with a wicked sense of irony, Neil Labute’s plays focus on the darker aspects of human behavior. This play, recently released as a movie starring Rachel Wiesz, Gretchen Mol and Paul Rudd, follows the effect a beautiful graduate art student has on a nerdy museum employee she meets while doing research for her thesis. This edgy, disturbing play is a thrilling ride to a brilliant finish, and has established Labute as one of the most insightful, innovative playwrights of his generation. Contains mature language and subject matter.
