    “ Taut and unsettling from the get-go. There’s an intrusion happening, even though the door is closed. All we know is something is wrong, a persistent danger is both present and looming, and if Lilia opens that door the danger will escalate. But is that a bad thing? SUGAR had me in the edge of my seat right up to the end. Even now I’m wondering if Lilia is okay. Urgent and necessary writing. ”

    “ Sugar is a tightly-woven, suspenseful take on a subject that cannot get enough exposure. It will take your breath away. It needs to be produced everywhere. ”

    “ HOLY MOLY! I truly adore JENNIFER O'GRADY's work, and SUGAR was no exception. Pivoting on a dime, this short play has everything to start conversations with audience members - smart dialogue, appropriate tension, and a message that will punch everyone in the gut. BRAVO! ”

    “ Short and powerful. This play kept me guessing and hoping...really hoping. ”

    “ The cliché of asking to borrow a cup of sugar turns into a more charged encounter between an abused woman and a caring savior. While from the start Jaden appears to be a nosy nuisance and Lilia understandably peeved at her invaded privacy, the reality is otherwise in this tightly written short piece. Keep an eye out for other unseen characters; perhaps they matter, perhaps not. ”

    “ There are certain plays that captivate you from start to finish, and SUGAR by Jennifer O'Grady will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is a deep sense of urgency as two women speak through a door, the stakes incredibly high, and every moment is precious. Jennifer writes both characters with profound understanding and elevates the subtext of their conversation with coded language and insight. A brave and powerful piece that deserved to be staged again and again. ”

    “ One woman's seemingly awkward attempt to meet the woman in the apartment next door suddenly takes on a very different meaning and all the odd details that came before make sense. Skillfully plotted and written, with a ending as powerful as it is surprising. ”
