Thirsty Theatre is back! And will be back at the Edinburgh Fringe once more!

'Slim for Life', a new play written by Oliver Gallagher, is an ensemble dark comedy set within a seemingly ordinary slimming group.

When heartbroken Lily joins her first session, she expects weigh-ins, wellness jargon and forced positivity. Instead, she finds a devoted leader, eccentric regulars and an atmosphere feeling 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.

Just gonna drop this cheeky little review here as I casually remind you all that tomorrow is your last chance to see the Caper Trail at The Blue Orange Theatre as part of Birmingham Fest

It's been a lot of fun to create and judging by last night's audience it's a lot of fun to watch too
