The Knowledge of Beauty

T01938660578
The Knowledge Of Beauty is a fast-paced, domesticated comedy about the perception of looks, and the need for perfection beneath the surface. Following the lives of four school friends and one very bewildered boyfriend... Hayley's just accidentally dumped her boyfriend after revealing she'd rather he looked like actor Bill Nighy. Jenny is disgusted by the fact she has to do PR for an ugly woman, because it just won't sell. Sophie is planning designer babies with her one-dimensional husband-to-be. Marian is wondering why she didn't get a write-up in the local press after her fashion parade appearance. Neil...well, Neil is just trying to understand. The Knowledge of Beauty is a 50-minute burst of basic human nature; quick one-liners and razor-sharp performances from the young, talented cast gently gloss over the darker undertones revealing the harsh reality of the world we live in.
