'Beauty is but skin deep, ugly lies the bone; beauty dies and fades away, but ugly holds its own.'
After three tours in Afghanistan, Jess finally returns to Florida. In a small town on the Space Coast, as the final shuttle is about to launch, Jess must confront her scars - and a home that may have changed even more than her.
Experimenting with a pioneering virtual reality therapy, she builds a breathtaking new world where she can escape her pain. There, she begins to restore her relationships, her life and, slowly, herself.
After its accalimed run at Roundabout Theatre in New York, Ugly Lies the Bone received its UK premiere at the National theatre in 2017.
