I attended the matinee performance on Saturday of Sugar In Our Wounds with no expectations having the tickets given to me by a friend. I found the performances to be top-notch by the small cast. With the subject matter being a somewhat taboo subsidiary of what is already an uncomfortable conversation for some white Americans, I would expect this show to receive mixed reviews. But, at the heart of this tragic tale is a story line than anyone can relate to...true love and loss. And if you happen to connect with one or both of the other subject matters (race and/or lgbtq), then you're in for a roller coaster of an emotional ride. In this small theatre I don't think you could have a bad seat. I've recommended this play to several friends already. At the current price, you can't beat it. It is not recommended for children as it does deal with adult subject matter and situations.

For Pity's Sake, spare yourself this awful waste of theater space. This play defies all logic. How could any professional company commit to such bad dramaturgy, lack of research and anachronistic gibberish dialog. This play is an insult to the memory of everybody it purports to represent. It's Southern dialect is tone-deaf past the point of caricature. At least two of five actors are terrible, though with material this bad it's hard to imagine what anybody could have made of it. Run, run away!
