The Sugar Syndrome

Dani is 17. She's looking to meet someone honest and direct. What she finds is a man twice her age who thinks she's an 11-year-old boy. Lucy Prebble's debut play is a devastatingly and disturbingly funny exploration of an unlikely friendship, our desire to connect, and the limits of empathy. Originally premiering at the Royal Court in 2003, this new edition was published to coincide with the first major revival at the Orange Tree Theatre in 2020.
