The Ugly One London tickets

Ramin Gray revives his production of The Ugly One, returning to the London theatre circuit after 20 years at the Arcola Theatre. Book your official tickets to The Ugly One today. 

What is The Ugly One about?

A razor-sharp satire about beauty, identity and self-love.

Lette has everything: a successful career, a loving wife, and a brilliant invention. Then he discovers the one thing nobody dared tell him — he’s hideous. A radical operation to “resculpture the entire facial area” leads to consequences far beyond what he, or anyone else, could possibly imagine. The Ugly One asks, does a flawless face exist?
