Fat Pig - TNT

Should it make a difference if your partner is overweight? Not just a pound or two, but scale-bustingly obese? That's the situation facing corporate guy Tom who surprises himself by falling for librarian Helen over pizza (several slices — hers) and chicken (with salad — his). She's so much nicer than co-worker Jeannie, his trim, slim and now bitterly jealous on-off ex who wants to rekindle their relationship. But, torn between genuine affection and a society which cruelly judges by externals, he hasn't got the guts to introduce her to his colleagues.
Ella Smith is a self-deprecating delight as supersized Helen, insisting she's happy in her own skin. But this is romantic comedy Neil LaBute-style and, in the end, size really does matter. Trafalgar Studios, Whitehall St, SW1 (0870-060 6632; www.trafalgar-studios.co.uk ). Until September 6. £25-£45
