A chance meeting between Evelyn, a renegade art student, and Adam, a nerdy English Lit Major, sets in motion a cautionary tale of deceit and manipulation.

Evelyn offers Adam the tools to dramatically reinvent himself both physically and psychologically. Though how far should you go for the one you love?

A shocking dissection of cruelty, seduction and the artistic process, The Shape of Things has a startling twist, which has made this work a modern American classic.

Adding to the HotBed Ensemble's list of outstanding collective projects, Neil LaBute's most successful and savage work.

Featuring the 2010 HotBed Ensemble: actors Austin Castiglione, Adriane Daff, Melanie Munt and Tim Solly, and creatives Fiona Bruce, Peter Dawson, Mia Holton and Tess Reuvers, and Stage Manager Hugo Aguilar Lopez.   
Director: Adam Mitchell

Duration: approx. 2 hours (no interval)
Warning: Contains occasional strong language and adult themes.

 

The HotBed Ensemble is supported by Janet Holmes à Court AC.  The HotBed Ensemble receives support in memory of Bern Ranford.
