"Searing and sensationally funny... As raw in its language and raucous in spirit as it is smart and provocative." The New York Times
"Funny, smutty and enticingly subversive. . . . A toxically satiric portrait of American life." Washington Post
"When I told my mother that a theater was putting on my play Bootycandy, her response was, 'What? Bootycandy? These white folks are going to let you put on a play called Bootycandy? ? Are they crazy ' And my response was, 'Yes. Yes indeed.'" Robert O'Hara
Sutter is on an outrageous odyssey...

Robert O'Hara's semi-biographical subversive comedy exploded onto the New York theatre-scene with a critically lauded production at Playwrights Horizons. "Bootycandy" tells the story of Sutter, who is on an outrageous odyssey through his childhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms, and even nursing homes. O'Hara weaves together scenes, sermons, sketches, and daring meta-theatrics to create a kaleidoscope that interconnects to portray growing up gay and black. Robert O'Hara's uproarious satire crashes headlong into the murky terrain of pain and pleasure and... BOOTYCANDY.
