SUGAR
By Ro Bright
Directed by Kitan Petkovski
Inspired by the obscene riches of Australia’s Sugar Baby culture, SUGAR takes on the bangers we love and smashes them into a poignant, sexy and hilarious story about being a kept Sugar Baby.
Starring Tomáš Kantor (The Inheritance and Opera Australia’s Watershed: The Death of Dr. Duncan) SUGAR tells the story of a young Sugar Baby who encounters a super rich executive. Kept in a hotel penthouse for a week, Sugar experiences every high-end pleasure, leading to obsession and a lust for a lifestyle they never knew they wanted.
Featuring a symphony of pop-songs and live piano, SUGAR is the latest collaboration between director Kitan Petkovski (The Inheritance), designer Bethany J Fellows (In the Club) and writer Ro Bright (Daffodils).
This project received the Cash To Create grant through the Fringe Fund and support from the Ron and Marg Dobell Foundation.
