The Shape of Things

The Flournoy Playwright Festival

written by Neil LaBute
directed by Tom Ziegler

A contemporary story of love, sex and art set in a college town, the play follows the steadily intensifying relationship between between Evelyn and Adam. As Evelyn strengthens her hold on Adam, his emotional and physical evolution discomforts his friends Jenny and Philip, with unexpected consequences for all. By turns, hopeful and harsh, the quartet of college-age characters deals with the conflicting human desires for autonomy and connection, truth and love and the notion that seduction is an art.
