Royal Court Theatre Presents ‘The Ugly One’

Lette thought he was normal. When the extent of his ugliness is revealed he turns to a plastic surgeon for help. But after the bandages come off, Lette soon learns that there is such a thing as too beautiful.

The Ugly One is a scalpel sharp comedy on beauty, identity and getting ahead in life. Marius von Mayenburg's previous plays include Fireface, which premiered at the Royal Court in 2000, Parasites and The Cold Child. This is the British premiere of The Ugly One.
