Food for Thought
by Peter Griffith
 
Sam is eating less and less, and taking lots of violent
exercise. She quarrels with her boyfriend and shouts at
her parents. What is her problem?
 
Food for Thought is a moving play about anorexia - a
disease from which some five per cent of British schoolgirls
suffer.
Will Sam be one of the survivors? Will she find the strength
to defeat the insidious illness? And how can her friends and
family cope with the fact that Sam’s relationship with the
disease is now the strongest relationship in her life?
