Following an award winning, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, SUGAR is coming to London for a limited run! 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? Why should you see it? Because it's good, duh. But don't just take our word for it: Three Weeks Edinburgh ★★★★★ “Sugar’ is completely engaging from start to finish: witty, well-observed and at times devastating, this show is a must see.” BingeFringe ★★★★★ "Smart, with a coal black sense of humour, you’ll walk away thinking about this one for days.” Deadline News ★★★★★ "If there is a show you cannot miss, it is this one.” Lost in Theatreland ★★★★★ "Sugar is a simply stunning play. It has all the makings of a thriller combined with comedic and tender moments too.“ Voice Magazine ★★★★★ “But most familiar of all is the absurdity and comedy Thomas has still managed to convey in the wake of these events, shocking a laugh out of me seconds after I was shaking with some kind of hopeless rage.” Broadway Baby ★★★★ “This really is something special…intelligent, relevant and powerful. This is an electrifying in-person debut from Mabel Thomas." Edinburgh Guide ★★★★ “A searing solo tragicomedy…Sugar is aptly timed, cutting, perfectly paced and written with heart” Fringe Biscuit ★★★★ “A strong script and riveting performance by Mabel Thomas” Neurodiverse Review ★★★★ “In this taut and candescent monologue, Mabel Thomas crafts a character study that is unparalleled." Old Red Lion Theatre September 5th-9th at 8:30pm Content Warning: Strong Language, Sexual Assault Age guideline: 14+ Written/Performed by Mabel Thomas Directed by Sandra Oian
