Almeida Theatre

Greg is overheard admitting that his girlfriend Steph is no beauty, but that he wouldn't change her for the world. She is devastated; he can't quite see what he’s done wrong. Meanwhile, Greg's best friend Kent alternates between boasting about how gorgeous his wife, Carly, is and chasing after a hot new colleague.



Reasons To Be Pretty examines our perception of beauty and asks whether it is as much of a curse to be conventionally attractive as it is to be considered ugly. This is the final part of Neil LaBute's trilogy about society's obsession with looks following The Shape of Things, which received its World premiere at the Almeida in 2001 and Fat Pig, which was a West End hit in 2008.

REASONS TO BE PRETTY, BURN THIS, et al. Set for New Edgecliff's 2011-2012 Season:
by Lauren Wolman - Jul 17, 2011


Everyone has obsessions, and New Edgecliff Theatre's 2011-2012 season seeks to examine the changes brought about by those obsessions - both in a person's life and the lives of those around them. The five-show season includes the late Lanford Wilson's Burn This and the regional premieres of St. Nicholas by Conor McPherson, and Reasons to be Pretty by Neal LaBute. The annual Sweet Suspense event returns for Halloween. NET breathes new life into its annual holiday offering, pairing The Santaland Diaries with new work from True Theatre.
