A brand-new play touring to Keswick next week is to use 'cutting edge' hologram technology to turn the spotlight on body dissatisfaction and the devastating effects it can have on our mental health.

'5 Years', which comes to Theatre by the Lake on April 28 and 29 centres on Yasmin, a woman in her 30s who wants the exciting, glamorous life she has always dreamed of but that her XXL body doesn't fit.

She is about to undertake a radical cosmetic procedure that promises to deliver the perfect body and the contentment that seems just out of reach. But it comes at a cost.

Writer and performer Hayley Davis said, "I’m really excited to bring this play to the stage.

Although the subject matter is quite serious, it’s a funny and warm show that uses some really ambitious, innovative tech."

'5 Years' is a drama written by Hayley Davis, directed by Rebecca Gadsby and supported by Sheffield Theatres. Tickets are available to buy from the theatre website.
