Drowning in debt, Harry signs up to a website connecting struggling individuals with wealthy ‘sugar daddies’ and begins a seemingly straightforward and initially transactional relationship with Daddy. As their relationship evolves beyond money, fantasies begin to clash with bitter realities; nothing is as sweet as it seems when it's SUGA-coated.
Developed through Soho Theatre Writers' Lab and longlisted for the Theatre 503 International Playwriting Award, this bold new play follows one man’s attempt to keep his head above water in a system designed to keep pulling him under. A sharp-edged critique of late-stage capitalism, SUGA asks us: in a world that commodifies everything, even our connections, what is actually left for us?

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
