Confronting an Ugly Truth: Beauty, Conformity, and Ethics in Marius von Mayenberg's The Ugly One by HowlRound

By Matt McGeachy. But what happens when the question of beauty and the question of identity are fused into one? What if the question when we saw our own faces was not, "Who am I?" but rather, "Am I beautiful?" This fusion, it seems to me, is at the heart of German playwright Marius von Mayenberg's "The Ugly One", at Tarragon Theatre's Extraspace and co-produced with Toronto-based company Theatre Smash.
