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 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 from the team behind The Caper Trail (Fringe 2023).
