The Neil Labute play The Shape of Things will be given a livestream reading Friday night to benefit The Actors Fund, with Labute himself taking part in an after-show Q&a to tell “a few war stories about the show.”
The 2001 play premiered in London, later revived Off Broadway and was adapted in 2003 as a film starring Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz. The cast for the benefit reading is Tony winner Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Tim Realbuto (Yes), Jonah Platt (Wicked) and Katie Rose Clarke (Miss Saigon).
Performing from their homes across the country, Realbuto will play Adam, a social misfit who works at a museum, and Hall will play Evelyn, a passionate and outspoken art student. As Evelyn changes Adam for the “better”, his two best friends Phillip (Platt) and Jenny (Clarke) begin to wonder if Evelyn is a good influence or the downfall of their friend.
