the ugly stepsister

the ugly stepsister

Toes are chopped off, a nose is maltreated with a hammer and chisel, a corpse is rotting and there is also an extremely greedy tapeworm. THE UGLY STEPSISTER is a remake of the Grimms' fairy tale “Cinderella” – but from a so far neglected perspective: the heroine is one of the badly misunderstood “ugly stepsisters”. This biting satire of society’s beauty norms is nasty and brutal.
