Ugly Lies the Bone

From the venue:

The Alliance Theatre announces its production of Ugly Lies the Bone, a drama about postwar recovery. Ugly Lies the Bone received its world premiere Off-Broadway at New York’s Roundabout Theater Company in 2015 where it was a New York Times Critic’s Pick. In Ugly Lies the Bone, newly discharged soldier Jess has finally returned to her Florida hometown. She brings with her not only vivid memories of 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. Through the use of virtual reality therapy, she builds a breathtaking new world where she can escape her pain. As Jess advances farther in the treatment, she begins to restore her relationships, her life and, slowly, herself.
