"Remember girls -
not slim for today, not slim for
tomorrow, but slim for life !"
With
these words Siobhan, the 'Achiever of
the Year' inspires her hopeful new
recruits in the Slim for Life dieting
club. Siobhan has lost seven
stone, found a new self, a fulfilling
job and a wonderful husband. Armed
with these she encourages others to
achieve the same through a combination
of diet and personal philosophy.
Five stages - commitment, discipline,
sacrifice, realisation and salvation -
for the key to a new life.
Can Jean,
Claudette, Rosie and the rest win the
fight with flab? The determination to
succeed comes with a price and one not
everyone is willing to pay. When
the temptation rises and the motivation
begins to wane, the edges begin to
unravel in the face of Siobhan's
autocratic rule. Just how much is
the price worth paying?
'A
satisfyingly humane and perceptive play
that memorably nails one of the great
issues of our times.' Daily Telegraph
