In Reverend Vern-Mayor’s field of cane that won’t grow right, there’s one patch that does. It’s where Sondelo is buried, it’s where his best friend Runna goes to talk to him, and it’s where the sugar’s still sweet. Declared “A Brilliant Manuscript.” by WYES-TV’s Alan Smason, Brian Egland’s Where the Suga Still Sweet is an immersive, interactive hallelujah of a muted man who uses the super powers of his mind and spirit to survive in his decaying world.
