Theatrical, outrageous, silly and sexy, Tomáš Kantor’s award-winning debut is about Sugar - a gender-queer twink who discovers that there’s money to be made from ‘transactional relationships’ (though their primary source of information is Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman'). What could go wrong?
Australian superstar-in-the-making Tomáš sings everything from Kylie to Gaga in this show about luxury, power, and being paid to have sex on a grand piano, written by Fringe First Award-winning playwright Ro Bright.
