SYNOPSIS:
Nerdy, shy English major Adam is surprised and thrilled when sexy art student
Evelyn takes an interest in him—an interest that leads to a makeover of his life.
Under Evelyn’s direction, Adam begins to work out, buys contact lenses, and even
has plastic surgery. At first Adam’s friends Philip and Jenny are impressed by
Evelyn’s positive influence, but when they begin to feel she’s gone too far, Evelyn
orders Adam to abandon them. When his transformation is complete, Adam finds
out that his relationship with Evelyn was about something other than love, and is
left to ponder whether he is better or worse for having known her.
Artistic Director Rich Ferraioli brings his minimalist approach to this well known Neil
LaBute play. With the help of designer R. Allen Babcock, Ferraioli creates a world
where we constantly look at ourselves on display.
We search or ponder for what it all means and how
LaBute’s play was originally produced in 2001 at the
Almeida Theatre in London starring Paul Rudd and
Rachel Weisz. It has since been turned into
a movie directed by Mr. LaBute himself.
