An exquisite reading of one of my favorite plays
A beautiful interpretation of one of LaBute's strongest pieces. Brutal, heart wrenching, revelatory, funny, too. While it is difficult to believe anyone would challenge Jenna Fischer's beauty, perhaps that is part of the point. The struggle with communication and desire for validation will make the insecure among us cringe, and the seemingly secure recognize pieces of themselves they wish they hadn't. Well done, LATW!

First-rate comic theater with a message.
A play about beauty and mating with a side angle of the responsibility and limits of friendship. Funny play but occasionally frightening in the thematic implications. Be careful if you listen. with a friend or significant other

Performances solid, unlikable characters
I wouldn't normally hang with people who are totally self-absorbed so why pay to listen to them talk?
