Hear Me Raw

When did our obsession with wellness start making us sick? <i>Hear Me Raw</i> is an autobiographical play based on the author's experiences of the online wellness industry.<br/><br/>The play opens with the protaganist playing the typical health blogger: She has constructed with uncanny accuracy that suspiciously 'together' person the constant smile and unsolicited advice perfected.(<i>A Younger Theatre</i>). As the play progresses we see how this young woman's desire for 'clean living' becomes a deepening obsession with restriction and control. It isolates her from others disconnecting her from family and friends so that she selfishly does not attend a family shiva because of her food obsessions. Her controlled regimes also significantly affect her mental health. <br/><br/>Daniella Isaacs peels back the Instagram filter to reveal the dirty truth behind clean living. <i>Hear Me Raw</i> is an autobiographical account of one woman's journey through the world of contemporary wellness. A blistering piece of theatre about restriction control and too much turmeric.
