The Ugly One is one of the most celebrated works by contemporary German playwright and dramaturg, Marius von Mayenburg.

Performed by members of BFT’s theatre laboratory, Fortinbras, the only independent arts school in Belarus, this savage social satire with its themes of identity, conformism and quest for physical perfection gains greater magnitude in the hands of young people living under dictatorship
