About the Show

The UK premiere of Robert O’Hara's semi-autobiographical drama exploring childhood, sexuality, fantasy, and reality.

Sutter is on a pilgrimage to understand himself and the world around him ... and why his Grandma calls his d*ck a “bootycandy”. But in continuing to discover all the parts of himself … he needs to come to terms with the things he discovers.

'Bootycandy' is an exploration of what makes us who we are and how we can begin to honour ourselves.

This production contains adult themes & is recommended for ages 18+.

Critic Reviews (4)

"This semi-autobiographical play by US theatremaker Robert O’Hara...is an extraordinary, exhilarating piece of work. It rips your heart out, even as you’re laughing, and makes you freeze in shock, even as you’re itching to dance along with it. It’s a unique experience."

“The play delights in not fitting into a recognisable structure, and we are met with constant surprises as each storyline is extended beyond its logical conclusion, heightened and violated, while Sutter tries desperately to control the spiralling narrative.”

"Sutter’s world contains passion, desire, beauty, ugliness, darkness, but also joy. He reminds us that ultimately if people were just left to enjoy their bootycandy the world might be a better place. It’s certainly better for this production: an absolute triumph!"

"It’s a vertiginous piece of anti-theatre – not so much a play as a performance in a state of continual disruption, smashing narrative orthodoxies only to remake them in glorious new forms. "
