Sugar Mummies 09 Aug 2006
They're known as 'milk bottles', ripe for filling, and looking for that extra special 'big bamboo'. Whilst a popular family holiday destination, Jamaica's tourist scene also has a seedier side - the world of the older, white woman seeking sex and not afraid to pay for it. It's a world explored in Tanika Gupta's new play 'Sugar Mummies', opening at the Royal Court Theatre this week. She joins Jenni, along with a self-confessed 'sex traveller,' Jeanette Belliveau and also the feminist writer Julie Bindel, to talk about the rights of wrongs of women seeking good times abroad - and whether it's the same for women as it is for men.

Sugar Mummies is on at the Royal Court Theatre from 15th Aug - 2nd Sept 2006 and then tours to the Octagon Theatre Bolton from 12 - 16 September and the Birmingham Repertory Theatre from 20 - 23 September 2006.
