Meet the women who inspired Four Weigh-Ins and a Funeral - a new play by award-winnning playwright Emma Burnell.
This is not a play about losing weight - but about finding community.
Four Weigh-Ins and a Funeral celebrates the bonds that form between women of different ages, classes, races and sizes at a SlimmingWorld group. With little in common but their geography and their desire to lose weight (or keep it off), this play explores how much we truly have in common - however different we all are. Middle class bridge instructors share recipes and family gossip with Muslim matriarchs. Everyone supports each other as they go through the ups and downs of life together. This 'found community' meet every week and form the strongest of bonds.
Showing at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in Kentish Town 6-10 May
