Pure Theater 134 Cannon Street, Charleston, SC Presents: TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS
In 2012, a writer named Cheryl Strayed published a book called Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar. The book was a compilation of letters and responses from Strayed's time as an anonymous advice columnist, "Dear Sugar," for the online literary magazine The Rumpus from 2010-12.
In the play, Cheryl moves around her home, reading and reacting to the letters Sugar receives, as a small group of actors follows her from kitchen to living room, essentially all around her home embodying the letter-writers and awaiting her responses, which often involve stories from her own life.
