Fat Pig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fat Pig is a play by Neil Labute, in which slim male office-worker Tom falls for an extremely overweight librarian Helen, but then has to deal with a plot hatched by his co-workers to sabotage the relationship. This play was one of the plays running at the Labute Festival, in a production starring both Jeremy Piven and Tyler Pierce as Tom, and Kate Debelack who played the role of Helen. Fat Pig was produced in 2005 by the MCC Theater in New York City. Its United Kingdom premiere runs from 27 May 2008 at the Trafalgar Studios, London, with a cast including Ella Smith as Helen, Robert Webb as Tom, Kris Marshall as Carter and Joanna Page as Jeannie.
