New Works Series If you take Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues and Nora Ephron’s Love, Loss, and What I Wore, you get HUNGER, a play set in an in-patient eating disorder facility, where women in various states of recovery come together to discover how to love themselves. This is loosely based on the playwright’s personal story, as well as the collected stories of brave women in the playwright’s life, who shared their experiences which were then turned into monologues for the characters. Pam is a reluctant newcomer to the program, who does not think she needs to be there. During her time in the group, she along with four other patients, including her toxic ex-friend Penny, navigate the nonlinear road to recovery and learn how it’s ok to not be ok. It is all their first time being human, and every body regardless of size or shape is deserving of love. CONTENT ADVISORY: The play themes relate to eating disorders and suicide.
