The Ugly Truth

In a cruel world where everyone is judged by appearance, two unlikely friends tell it like it is –

Big fat chubber
Pizza face
You’re ugly
You’re a pig
Ginger minger

Taking great pleasure in taunting and teasing – “cos it’s just a laugh” – until the tables are turned and the hurt they cause and the damage they do leads them to realised that maybe what’s on the inside counts too.

A provocative new play for teenagers from award-winning Welsh playwright, Gary Owen, and acclaimed director, Sarah Argent.

Gary Owen is a writer of his time and is able to convey the thoughts and anxieties of people today in a way that both wrings the heart and sets off genuine laughter.
(Theatre in Wales Website)

Sarah Argent’s direction is so imaginative … it creates a mental world that is utterly believable …. Less is more, quality is paramount, theatricality is at its heart.
