The Ugly Duckling - - Broadway Articles Page 10

The character formerly known as Sleeping Beauty wakes up in a world where warts are in fashion … and she has them. While she's en vogue, she can't wrap her brain around this drastic change, nor can anyone around her. "Sleeping Ugly," as she has renamed herself, flees her village and bumps into the Ugly Duckling, who, like Sleeping Beauty/Ugly, is the subject of bullying for his appearance. The two become fast friends.

Identity Theater presents Sleeping Ugly; written and directed by Nicholas Linnehan.
