If Pretty Hurts Ugly Must Be A Muhf*cka

Directed by Ontaria Kim Wilson

In the village of Affreakah-Amirrorkah, no one questions that Akim is the one true, perfect beauty – not even her jealous classmates. But they’ll be damned before they let her take over as leading lady in this story. Combining West African folklore and contemporary American culture, Tori Sampson’s hilariously provocative play doesn’t ask the question “How much is beauty worth?” but rather, “Why are so many willing to pay its price?”
