The Ugly One is an absurd farce about identity and human beauty. Lette discovers one day what no one has been willing to tell him: that he is ugly. His face is simply not acceptable and for such a man, life is not kind. His job, his marriage and his self-esteem are all compromised by this shortcoming. But what nature denies him, medical science provides. Attractiveness, he finds, can be bought. But what happens when his looks are a commodity? And what are the consequences of giving up his face?
