Alice and Phil bare every messy, painful, hilarious, irritating, delightful, loving detail of their relationship as it bends and shifts to everything life throws at them. Nothing goes unshared …
Writer Jack Thorne (Channel 4’s Skins and This Is England) thrillingly amplifies disabled voices in this witty, impassioned and intimate play.
Following its 2015 premiere at Edinburgh Festival Fringe as a Graeae Theatre Company and Theatre Royal Plymouth co-production, The Solid Life of Sugar Water went on a UK tour and transferred to the National Theatre for a critically acclaimed run in 2016.
★★★★ “Unflinching…I can’t remember when I last saw a play that was at once so forthright and so delicate” The Observer on the National Theatre production.
“Jack Thorne’s writing is fearless, embracing those awkward and intimate moments of life and celebrating them for what they are” Disability Arts Online
