Neil LaBute

20th May, 2008

So, here's the thing.

I took the lovely national express train from Newcastle all the way to the big smokey south this weekend to go and see FAT PIG!  The new production of a play by NeilLa Bute. 

People should know that Neil LaBute is my very favourite playwright!  Like, totally.  Ever!

I'm collecting trips to his plays.

So far I've seen :

The Shape of Things

This is How It Goes

Some Girls

Helter Skelter/The Land of the Dead

Bash 

 and now FAT PIG!

I am stalking his plays!

The thing is that his plays are unlike just about anything else around at the moment - they manage to be  shocking and sad and angry and truthful and political and human and unsettling and laugh out loud funny all in one play. 

You should all book tickets to everything he ever writes.

So there.
