"Sugar" an original play by Graci Melbourne March 31-April 2 in the Ryan Little Theatre.  

 SUGAR by Graci Melbourne

When seven strangers arrive at the same Italian villa for a vacation, they expect to “do what the Romans do” on their jolly holiday. What they don’t expect is to be brutally murdered by one another. As the play creeps through seven days of sweltering heat and high tensions, it is revealed that the whole villa is a setup; the phone line is tapped, and the guests are being watched. The scientist conducting the experiment sits back while, under the influence of drugs, her guests reveal each of their guilty secrets. Victims become murderers and murderers, victims. Suspicion haunts the guilty mind, they say, and in this case, it's all because of sugar.
