The focus of the Broadway play, "Fat Pig," which stars Jeremy Piven, Ashlie Atkinson, Keri Russell, and Andrew McCarthy, is a man who dates and falls in love with an overweight woman. The play tracks the courtship of two people (Piven and Atkinson) who sincerely care for each other. Unfortunately, their relationship exists in a world that ridicules and ostracizes those who do not fit Hollywood's idea of beauty. Andrew McCarthy and Keri Russell play the friends who don't understand Jeremy PIven's choice in dates. In his Broadway.com review of the piece, Edward Karam wrote: "LaBute raises honest, difficult questions about human nature: Is it possible to live without allowing peer pressure to influence one's choices or behavior? How important are looks compared to decency? What compromises should one make in a relationship?"
