The Sugar Wife by Elizabeth Kuti (Paperback Book)

Nick Hern Books

Dublin, 1850. The delicate balance at the heart of an affluent couple's marriage and family business is challenged when two visitors \u0096 a former enslaved woman and her emancipator \u0096 come to Ireland to speak to the public about trade, money and the abolition of slavery.\nExploring the dark side of global commodities, Elizabeth Kuti's's play The Sugar Wife offers an engrossing examination of sexual politics and political morality.\nThe play won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2006. It was first produced by Rough Magic, and performed at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, in 2005, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London. It was revived, in the version published here, at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2024, directed by Annabelle Comyn.\n\nThe Sugar Wife\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nDublin, 18;
