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.

After working as an artistic director at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin, Marius von Mayenburg (b. 1972) became artistic director and playwright-in-residence at the “Berliner Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz”.

Director: Alan Paul, Associate Director, the Shakespeare Theatre Company
