About the show
Bite is a physical theatre and new writing show from Anovian Productions, presented at Haldane Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Riley, described as twenty-one years old in the show, finds comfort in her journal while her closest confidant Anna keeps a troubling hold over her. Inspired by a true story, the piece opens the door into the complex world of atypical anorexia, bringing to life the small internal voices that erode a person's sense of self. Running 50 minutes, it is recommended for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Delicate and unflinching, this student-company production approaches atypical anorexia through the lens of a close and consuming friendship. A thoughtful piece of new writing that trusts its audience to sit with uncomfortable truths.
