The Sugar Syndrome - DPS ACTING EDITION

Despite the dark subject matter, this is a funny play that takes a fresh look at damaged people and how they find refuge in each other

The protagonist, Dani, a seventeen-year-old girl, sparkles and thrusts her way through the play with a rage-fuelled energy

Her mother, Jan, tries to come to terms with empty-nest syndrome and an absent husband

And Lewis, a lovesick boy in his twenties, tries to woo Dani, despite his inexperience

"If there's a funnier, sadder, wiser play looking at paedophilia and prejudice this year, even this decade, I'd be amazed" ~ Daily Telegraph

"This year has been a good year for new plays, but this is the first that strikes me as a must-see" ~ Financial Times
