"Fat Pig" is a play by Neil Labute, in which slim male office-worker Tom falls for an extremely overweight librarian Helen, but then has to deal with a plot hatched by his co-workers to sabotage the relationship. This play was one of the plays running at the Labute Festival, in a production starring both Jeremy Piven and Tyler Pierce as Tom, and Kate Debelack who played the role of Helen.

2008 London Production

Its United Kingdom premiere runs from 27 May 2008 at the Trafalgar Studios, London, with a cast including Ella Smith as Helen, Robert Webb as Tom, Kris Marshall as Carter and Joanna Page as Jeannie.

In August it was announced that both Marshall and Webb would be stepping down from their roles and be replaced by Kevin Bishop and Nicholas Burns, respectively.
