Following an award winning, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, SUGAR is coming to London for a limited time! Get
tickets.
One girl. Five ages. Many morally ambiguous decisions. SUGAR explores what it means to win, as well as interrogating where and when women learn the art of self-exploitation. An urgent and compelling foray into the mind of someone growing up in today’s world, where Louis Vuitton makes dog leashes and sex work is just a few clicks away.
At 6 years old, Mae is highly attuned to politics (on the playground), a recognized athletic champion (specialty: hopping) and an avid fan of “air quotes”. Mae’s sole purpose in life; to win. As she grows up, will that winning attitude truly lead her to victory?
SUGAR follows Mae through all of the milestones in a girl's life. Her first kiss, her first business seizure by the authorities, her first kiss with someone she actually likes (oh god, it's a GIRL) and finally her first experience as a Sugar Baby. This whirlwind performance will have you laughing in the moment and thinking for days afterward.
If you’re in London, come see the show. If you have friends in London, have them come see the show, if you have enemies in London, have them use the code "ENEMY" at checkout and they’ll have to pay an extra £10 for their ticket!
