After an acclaimed run at VAULT Festival in 2020 the queer feminist pop-punk hit Sugar Coat returns to Southwark Playhouse as a timely rallying cry for a generation challenging the conversations of the ownership of women’s bodies. A live music play about love loss and lubrication this powerful piece of gig theatre confronts sex and sexuality in a brutally funny true story about trauma and recovery.   

Winner of the OFFComm 2020 Award Show of the Week (VAULT Festival 2020) and an UNTAPPED (New Diorama Theatre & Underbelly) finalist this female and non-binary led production features original live music inspired by Riot Grrrl bands such as Bikini K*ll Le Tigre Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo.  

From the producers of Fringe First-winning Bobby & Amy Sugar Coat is written by singer-songwriter Lilly Pollard (as seen on BBC Music Introducing) and award-winning playwright Joel Samuels (Fever Pitch Divas A Wake in Progress) with co-Musical Direction from Anya Pearson of the renowned band Dream Nails. It is a hilarious and heartfelt mix of rebellious empowerment and laugh-out-loud teen angst intertwined with 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.
