Truth and Consequence

This is latest addition to LaBute's body of work and one of my favorites to be sure. LaBute's gift for dialogue lends itself perfectly to the awkward banter between exes. The story revolves around a man who wants to apologize to his ex-girlfriends before getting married. While the piece does have a signature LaBute twist the main character of this piece is less abrasive than some of LaBute's other creations. In each of the four vignettes we see the tangled web of relationships, and how we all as humans manipulate each other and our own reality. In each story we can see a piece of ourselves whether we want to admit it or not. It is LaBute's talent for illustrating the truth of the human condition that makes him such a wonderful writer. Two thumbs way up! A bonus in this addition is a fifth vignette, not performed in London or New York, which rounds out the piece nicely.
