Nordland Theatre – The Ugly One
Sharp, contemporary comedy
The Ugly One is for anyone who gets drawn into questions of identity, ideals, and everything that’s supposed to be so damn perfect all the time. Through humor and exaggeration, the play reflects our own era—whether you recognize yourself in it, or observe it with curiosity and distance. Written by one of Europe’s most prominent contemporary playwrights. Performed on stages around the world, including London and New York.
