Throwing a few curves at romance
A good-looking man finds his witty, smart Ms. Right, but friends and colleagues are appalled. The reason? She’s overweight. Very overweight. Making its West Coast premiere, Neil LaBute’s provocative comedy “Fat Pig” explores the ramifications of a romance that goes against the societal grain, as bias sparks a crisis of conscience and morality. Jo Bonney, who directed the 2004 world premiere production in New York, is staging the show. With Scott Wolfe, Kirsten Vangsness, Chris Pine and Andrea Anders.
