Description

Catherine: The Story of a Young Girl Who Died of Anorexia Nervosa is a powerful documentary play that explores the devastating effects of an eating disorder. Based on the real-life story of Catherine Dunbar, who died in 1984 after a seven-year battle with anorexia nervosa, this play uses her own words and those of those closest to her to create a poignant and thought-provoking work.

The play has been widely performed and studied since its first performances, including a notable production by OYT on the Olivier Stage of the Royal National Theatre. This new edition includes a foreword by Maureen Dunbar, unseen extra scenes, and a reflection by Mark Wheeller on the play's journey since its debut.

Suitable for students studying GCSE Drama or BTEC courses, this play is a valuable resource for exploring themes of identity, emotions, and social science. With a runtime of approximately 75 minutes, it provides a thought-provoking and engaging experience for audiences.
