Simon Bent Libri

One of Britain's leading young playwrights, Simon Bent's previous plays include Goldhawk Road, Wasted, and Bad Company. Sugar, Sugar will premiere at London's Bush Theatre in August 1998.

Set against the backdrop of a northern seaside resort at summer's end, the play explores the lives of a group of twentysomethings grappling with feelings of futility and boredom. Their interactions are marked by casual sex, mindless violence, and humorous conflicts of perspective, creating a vivid and relatable depiction of modern youth. With a cast of two women and six men, the narrative delves into the complexities of their relationships and the search for meaning in a seemingly disenchanted world.

A new play inspired by John Lahr's biography and the diaries of Joe Orton.

Three acclaimed plays by an original and exciting voice in British theatre.
