UGLY CHILD is a heartbreaking musical theatre production by Stella Den Haag (http://-www.stella.nl)
UGLY CHILD (aka Vile Child) follows the turbulent tale of Lieve, a barge master's daughter, who struggles to survive in a world that rages against her. Her parents split up and the boat is sold. Luckily her good friend Jessica looks after her together with shy Aunt Odila. But when the boy she is in love with makes a fool of her, Lieve's dark side takes over. She betrays everything she loves. It seems her friendship with Jessica will be lost forever. Aunt Odila's secret is out. Where can she hide now?
