Sugar Daddies Review from a Coliseum Ambassador

Hello, hello! Long time no see! Truly so. I hope that you, our lovely audience, have been keeping well! Ok, let's get on with the review...

So then, Sugar Daddies have arrived to the Coliseum. Oh, I have been waiting for this show!! And here it is, I am ecstatic! I went to see it with a pen and paper, not so secretly hoping to learn a few tricks how to snare myself a Sugar Daddy! ;) Don't we all want one! Eventually, I came to a conclusion that it is a very tricky, delicate game. I think I will leave that to the professionals, like Sasha! It was so amazing to watch her journey from this naive (or so she presented herself) country girl into a city chic. Sarah Vezmar (who plays Sasha) is absolutely stunning in this role!

The audience have responded really well to the show. I heard so many warm words about it. Some people said they were pleasantly surprised, as one never knows what to expect with Alan Ayckbourn.



The characters were developed beautifully throughout the story. Brilliant work from the cast Maeve Larkin (Chloe), Heather Phoenix (Charmaine), Sarah Vezmar (Sasha), Paul Webster (Val), Christopher Wilkinson (Ashley) and the Director Robin Herford.

Another interesting thing is that we never really find out for sure what darkness Uncle Val hides in his past, or some facts about Ashley. Some questions are left unanswered.

All in all, the story has a beautiful witty ending. I, personally, strongly recommend to everyone to come and see the show at the Coliseum. It certainly will not disappoint! And remember to buy your programme for some writing tips from Alan Ayckbourn!

Until the next time,
Jane
