Donja R. Love's drama Sugar in Our Wounds at Manhattan Theatre Club


Sugar in Our Wounds now playing at Manhattan Theatre Club 


The world premiere of Donja R. Love's drama Sugar in Our Wounds now playing at Manhattan Theatre Club directed by Saheem Ali and stars Sheldon Best as James, Stephanie Berry as Aunt Mama, Fern Cozine as Isabel, Tiffany Rachelle Stewart as Mattie, and Chinaza Uche as Henry.


Sugar in Our Wounds is a powerful story, taking a look into the lives of LGBTQ African slaves in the deep south.  In the play, a mystical tree stretches toward heaven and protects James (Sheldon Best), a young slave with a passion for education, living on a plantation. When a brooding stranger arrives, James (Chinaza Uche ) and his makeshift family take the man in—the start of an unexpected bond and striking romance.
