You are ugly. It’s a fact. I can’t believe you didn’t know.
Lette is a talented engineer. But his boss won’t let him go to the conference to present his electrical plug. This whip smart social satire from one of Germany’s most exciting contemporary playwrights uses daring theatricality to explore a world where nothing can be taken at face value.
Reviews of Recent Alien Abductions:
“…The Ugly One is a tight, light hour of scouring entertainment, smartly sculpted down to its very bones…”
–Vulture
“This fashionably slick work resonates in a modern world…”
–New York Post
“At roughly 60 minutes, the Kafkaesque satire sprints along without hammering its points into triteness…”
–Time Out
