⭐ SUGAR COAT – POP-PUNK GIG THEATRE – ANNOUNCED FOR SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE ⭐
After an acclaimed run at VAULT Festival in 2020, the feminist pop-punk hit Sugar Coat comes to Southwark Playhouse this spring.
A live music play about love, loss and lubrication, this powerful gig theatre show confronts sex and sexuality in a brutally funny true story about trauma and recovery.
Performed by an all female and non-binary band, we follow 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.
Featuring original live music inspired by Riot Grrrl bands, such as Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo, to soundtrack the hilarious and heartfelt mix of rebellious empowerment and laugh-out-loud teen angst.
From the producers of Fringe First winning Bobby & Amy, Sugar Coat is written by singer-songwriter Lilly Pollard (as featured on BBC Music Introducing) and award-winning playwright Joel Samuels (Fever Pitch), with co-musical direction from Anya Pearson of the British punk band, Dream Nails.
Celine Lowenthal (Pecs) directs the five strong cast: Rachel Barnes(Manic Street Creature), Eve De Leon Allen (Doctor Who), Dani Heron (Peter Gynt), Anya Pearson and Sarah Workman (Girls Don’t Play Guitar).
Sugar Coat will play the Southwark Playhouse Borough, running from 29th March – 22nd April 2023, with tickets on sale now.
Brilliant! ! !
