"Funny and raunchy, the play is knowledgeable, provocative, admirably even-handed... Sugar Mummies raises fascinating questions about the differences between male and female sexuality and the relationship between the developed and the developing world"

The Independent

"Rubasingham's production is persuasively acted, not least by the superb Bellingham"

The Times

Sugar Mummies was a new light-hearted and thought-provoking comedy with a hint of darkness.  It played at the Octagon as part of the Royal Court’s 50th Anniversary celebrations

What does a woman do when she reaches a certain age but still wants fun, romance and energetic sex with a fit young man?  She packs her bags and heads off for a couple of weeks in the Caribbean, where the beach boys flatter and the tourists can pick and choose the man of their dreams - as long as they pay with hard cash.  On the white sands of Jamaica‘s Negril beach, Maggie, Kitty, Ginny and Yolanda discover that sex comes with a price tag and that love is hard to buy.

Tanika Gupta is a prolific and award-winning playwright, whose acclaimed adaptation of Hobson’s Choice by the Young Vic recently appeared at The Lowry in Salford.

The cast of Sugar Mummies includes Lynda Bellingham (At Home With The Braithwaites, All Creatures Great And Small, and the Oxo ads); Heather Craney (BAFTA Best Supporting Actress nomination for Vera Drake), and Adjoa Andoh, who played Sister Griffiths in Casualty from 2000 - 2003.
