Neil LaBute News

A powerful and shocking new play directed by Melody Brooks, joins the Chain Theatre summer one act festival line up, running June 8th to June 25th.

Neil LaBute's, The Shape of Things is a black comedy that centres itself around the life of Adam, an awkward (and often naive) literature student, as he embarks upon his first serious relationship with Evelyn, a cooler, edgier postgrad who enters his life with the sole purpose of disrupting it. 

Some Girl(s) is from Neil Labute, American theater’s great agent provocateur. In grand LaBute fashion, this outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself.
