If Pretty Hurts Ugly Must be a Muhfucka - Tori Sampson - Bog

"Combining West African folklore and contemporary American culture, If Pretty Hurts Ugly Must be a Muhfucka follows four teenage girls as they grapple with societal definitions of beauty. In the fictional setting of Affreakah-Amirrorkah, the four young women -- Kaya, Massassi, Adama, and Akim -- are given an opportunity to live in a society where their individual beauty can reign supreme. But this opportunity comes at a dangerous cost. Tori Sampson's hilariously provocative play doesn't ask the question 'How much is beauty worth?' but rather, 'Why are so many willing to pay its price?'"--Back cover.
