Written and co-produced by Andrea Fulton, Ugly Is A Hard Pill is offering a comical, and sometimes emotional, glimpse into the lives of those looking for love in all the wrong places. The play centers on a scandalous, African American couple, Keef and Lena, who both are on the ‘down low.’ But as the couple’s realities are shattered, their sexual orientation proves to be the least of their concerns.
This audacious and funny play tackles some of life’s most difficult challenges. From infidelity to losing a loved one to hate crime, your emotions are taken on a roller coaster ride that you don’t want to get off of. The remarkable cast delivers a spectacular performance, reminding us of our ability to impact our own lives in both positive and sometimes very ugly ways.
Ugly Is a Hard Pill plays at the Theater for the New City in the East Village thru January 12th. For more information and ticket purchases, visit www.theaterforthenewcity.net/ugly.htm.
