FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett
“How far would you go to find the perfect cure?”
Celebrity influencers, protein shake peddlers, diet pill pushers… we tell ourselves it’s a modern phenomenon. But is it really?
Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation.
Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world... or were there darker forces at play?
Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.
Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs:
"In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton"
