Untold Wants

The Irish premiere of Neil LaBute’s play ‘Reasons to Be Pretty’.

Who are we when all the cards are on the table? When excuses and distractions lose their power, what will we have to show? Are we pretty enough?

Greg’s ex, Steph, reminds him that words matter. His married friends Kent and Carly, expecting an unexpected baby, remind him of the interpretations at stake.

We walk individually together through life, not listening to each other, exploring our definitions of beauty. Are we living up to our own expectations? Or just the discontent of beauty?

In Ben Brantley’s review for the New York Times he illustrates this concept, “It’s never easy to say what you mean, or to know what you mean to begin with. With a delicacy that belies its crude vocabulary, Reasons to Be Pretty, celebrates the everyday heroism in the struggle to find out.”
