Following their sold-out success in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs, three Royal Court productions return in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs.

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.

"A drop-dead gorgeous play."  Independent

The Ugly One is a scalpel sharp comedy on beauty, identity and getting ahead in life.

"A delectable black comedy... I have not seen a more imaginative, inventive or disturbing theatrical vision."  Evening Standard  

"A viciously comic assault on the warped values of pop-culture-fed modern society."  The Times
