Fast

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.
