First look production images are released as Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu directs the UK premiere of Robert O’Hara’s startlingly provocative and outrageously funny, Bootycandy, a whip-smart, high-octane, roller coaster ride about growing up black and gay.
The full cast is Prince Kundai as Sutter playing alongside Bimpé Pacheco, Damilola K Fashola, Luke Wilson and Roly Botha.
Sutter is on a journey. A sugar-exploding pilgrimage to understand himself, the world around him, and why his Old Granny calls his d*ck a “bootycandy”. But in continuing to discover all the parts that make him…“him”… will he come to terms with what he finds?
Bootycandy is a semi-autobiographical, kaleidoscopic, black queer fever dream of connected vignettes exploring childhood, sexuality, fantasy and reality.
Bootycandy is at The Gate Theatre until 11th March 2023.
