Ugly Lies the Bone by Lindsey Ferrentino Tapped For Off-Broadway World Premiere

Roundabout Underground will present the world premiere of Lindsey Ferrentino’s Ugly Lies the Bone this fall. Off-Broadway performances will begin on September 10 at the Black Box Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. Patricia McGregor is set to direct.

Ugly Lies the Bone follows Jess, a newly discharged soldier who has finally returned to her Florida hometown. She brings with her not only vivid memories of her three tours in Afghanistan, but painful burns that have left her physically and emotionally scarred. Jess soon realizes that things at home have changed even more than she has.

The play was first presented last year as part of Roundabout’s Underground Reading Series, and received the first Special Citation of Excellence from The Laurents/Hatcher Foundation. Cast and creative team—as well as an official opening date—for the off-Broadway production will be announced at a later date.
