Los Angeles Premiere
"The Shape of Things"
By Neil LaBute
Previews: Jan. 18 to 20
Runs: Jan 21 to Feb. 20
Furious Theatre Company kicks off 2005 with the Los Angeles premiere of playwright-director-filmmaker Neil LaBute's "The Shape of Things."
Despite a phenomenally successful production history beginning with its world premiere at London's Almeida Theatre, the subsequent New York transfer and the 2003 film adaptation, "The Shape of Things" has yet to receive a Los Angeles production. Furious Theatre Company is pleased to have been granted the rights to produce the play, which had been specifically restricted in Los Angeles, requiring approval directly from LaBute and his agent.
Set on the campus of a Midwestern college, LaBute's intense, dark comedy is a contemporary story about the nature of art, manipulation and love. Furious Theatre Company's production of the Los Angeles premiere opens at the Pasadena Playhouse Balcony Theatre.
