The Ugly Stepsister is a daring and unexpected take on Cinderella’s world-famous tale, seen through the eyes of the ugly stepsister, combining comedy and horror by Emilie Blichfeldt. In a twisted take on the classic Cinderella story, ‘The Ugly Stepsister’ follows Elvira as she battles to compete with her insanely beautiful stepsister. In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira will go to any lengths to catch the prince’s eye. ‘The Ugly Stepsister’ is the gory tale of the blood and sweat, grit, and gold that goes into making Elvira the belle of the ball.
