Jon Lawrence guest blogs for BroadwayWorld about bringing One Sugar, Stirred to the Left to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. ... "The play is set in a hospice like the one my father was in before he passed away. I wanted to change people’s ideas of what a hospice is. For me, I learned more about life and love in the hospice than I did about death, such was the kindness and compassion of those who worked there. But I also wanted the show to ask people to think about different approaches to death, such as those from other cultures." ... "Hopefully, you’ll find the same truth in humanity that I saw in the eyes of the nurses and doctors who cared for my father during his last days. Hopefully, you’ll find a little of the love I have for my mother and father in the lines. Most of all, I hope you see a little of yourself in all of the characters in the play. If you do, then it will have all been worth it."
