reasons to be pretty - by Neil LaBute
New Edgecliff rounds out its season with Neil LaBute's searing look at our culture's fixation with vanity and physical attractiveness.
Blue-collar worker Greg's life is thrown into turmoil when his girlfriend Steph hears of his offhand remarks favorably comparing a female coworker's pretty face to her "regular" face. Things spin out of control from there as Greg's shallow "best buddy" Kent, and Kent's wife, Carly, enter into the picture, and all four are confronted with issues of deceit, infidelity and betrayed trust. As their relationships begin to fray, they are brought face-to-face with the consequences of our "pretty" obsession.
In reviewing "reasons to be pretty", Ben Brantley of the New York Times has said, "Mr. LaBute is writing some of the freshest and most illuminating American dialogue to be heard anywhere these days."
