The Ugly Noo Noo

In 1988, Andrew Buckland wrote and played in a one-man show that changed the face of South African theatre. The Ugly Noo Noo was acclaimed as a masterpiece of comic physical performance and an exceptional piece of political theatre. The play went on to receive 17 national and international awards.
