Neil LaBute is known for plays that ask questions about the dark side of humanity and just what we’re capable of under the right circumstances. In some of his works, the moral and ethical landscape is more ambiguous. In The Shape of Things, LaBute has described it as “black and white”. The play is essentially a modern-day retelling of the biblical story of Adam and Eve, albeit on a smaller scale (here, betrayal doesn’t lead to the fall of all of mankind, but it does cause some falls). The play is full-length, but it is not divided into separate acts and is performed without an intermission.
