Welcome to Slim for Life. A friendly local slimming group… with a taste for the dramatic – and perhaps something darker. Newcomer(s) welcome. Results guaranteed. Side effects may include eternal
damnation.
When heartbroken Lily attends her first session, she expects weigh-ins, wellness jargon and forced positivity. Instead, she finds a devoted leader, eccentric regulars and an atmosphere that feels increasingly ritualistic. As mantras become chants and discipline turns to devotion, Lily must decide how far she’s willing to go for transformation.
A sharp, fast-paced dark comedy with live musical flair, Slim for Life explores the language of modern wellness culture and the strange power of belonging.
From the team behind The Caper Trail (Fringe 2023).
Shedding the old you comes at a price.
Hitting the Old Joint Stock Theatre on Thursday 9th July at 8pm, before it heads to Edinburgh in August!
Written and directed by Oliver Gallagher
