After an acclaimed run at VAULT Festival in 2020, the queer, feminist pop-punk hit Sugar Coat returns to Southwark Playhouse as a timely rallying cry for a generation challenging the conversations of the ownership of women’s bodies. A live music play about love, loss and lubrication, this powerful piece of gig theatre confronts sex and sexuality in a brutally funny true story about trauma and recovery.
Winner of the OFFComm 2020 Award, Show of the Week (VAULT Festival 2020) and an UNTAPPED (New Diorama Theatre & Underbelly) finalist, this female and non-binary led production features original live music inspired by Riot Grrrl bands, such as Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo.
From the producers of Fringe First-winning Bobby & Amy, Sugar Coat is written by singer-songwriter Lilly Pollard (as seen on BBC Music Introducing) and award-winning playwright Joel Samuels (Fever Pitch, Divas, A Wake in Progress), with co-Musical Direction from Anya Pearson of the renowned band Dream Nails. It is a hilarious and heartfelt mix of rebellious empowerment and laugh-out-loud teen angst intertwined with one woman’s coming-of-age journey, spanning across eight years of sexual highs and lows, with sprinklings of 90s nostalgia and an unashamedly queer and feminist call to arms.

Review: SUGAR COAT, Southwark Playhouse
April 01, 2023Sugar Coat is a piece of gig theatre, telling a story of growing up, trauma, and sex through pop punk music. A kind of rock concert meets musical, it’s performed by an all female and non-binary band, playing and singing live for the duration of the show. From the very beginning, this doesn’t feel like a traditional theatre experience: the audience are whooping and clapping along, and it’s clear that everyone both onstage and off is having a great time.
