Subject: Updated press release UA The Shape of Things
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Matinees for ART's The Shape of Things are not canceled. All performances will run as scheduled.
January 27, 2011
The Shape of Things – by Neil LaBute (run time 1 hour & 45 minutes + Intermission; Media Photo Call: Feb 1st, 4:30pm, UA Marroney Theatre)
Presented by UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre and directed by Cathy Hartenstein chartenstein@email.arizona.edu / 520.621.7504
Adam is an awkward, overweight English student and part-time art museum guard. Evelyn is an experienced, beautiful graduate student in art. After a chance meeting, Evelyn and Adam embark on an intense relationship that causes Adam to go to extraordinary lengths to improve his appearance and character. The Shape of Things is a startling dissection of cruelty and artistic creation that challenges society’s most deeply entrenched ideas about art, manipulation and love.
According to playwright LaBute, everybody has the ability to be manipulative, to be hateful and deceitful.
The Shape of Things explores the central themes of what is considered art, how far some of us may go for intimacy, and questions psychopathy. The Shape of Things can make some audience members squirm in their seats for these reasons. Make no mistake: this is a contemporary play for the socially thoughtful and aware - not for the faint of heart.
This production includes adult themes and language.
