The Solid Life of Sugar Water

‘It had been a while. I was really nervous. I mean, it’s not like riding a bike. Sex. It’s far more complicated.’

Phil and Alice are in love – familiar, flawed, ordinary love. Phil and Alice are on a journey. But this journey doesn’t have an A to Z.

Candid, uninhibited and visceral, this world-premiere from award winning playwright Jack Thorne is an intimate, tender play about loss, hurt and rediscovery.

Playwright Jack Thorne recently adapted the cult novel and film Let the Right One In for the stage, which played to sell-out audiences in London’s West End. For television, his credits include; Glue, Skins, Shameless and This is England and for theatre include; Hope for the Royal Court, When You Cure Me, Fanny and Faggot and Bunny. This marks his second collaboration with Graeae.
