The Shape of Things at The Cloverdale Playhouse

How far would you go for love? What concessions would you make? What price would you be willing to pay? Such are the painful questions explored by Neil LaBute in The Shape of Things. After a chance meeting in a museum, Evelyn, a sexy, aggressive artist, and Adam, a shy, insecure student, become embroiled in an intense affair. Before long, it veers into the kind of dangerous, seductive territory that LaBute does best, as Adam, under Evelyn’s steady influence, goes to unimaginable lengths to please her. Only in the final and shocking scene, which challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas, do we learn the truth of their relationship.
