Sunday's Child presents an award winning play about anorexia
OVERSHADOWED
by Eva O'Connor ( writer and performer of My Name is Saoirse)
“a dark, compassionate sometimes funny exploration of eating disorders.” Irish Times. ****
Winner of the Fishamble Award for Best New Writing 2015
Imogene used to be sparkly vivacious, and outgoing. She used to fancy lads, have curves and love chips. Recently however
she has become withdrawn, gaunt, obsessed with exercise. The reason? Caol, her new “best friend”, who’s cast a dark shadow over Imogene's life.
Invisible to everyone except Imogene, Caol will not rest until Imogene has been reduced both emotionally and physically to a shadow of her former self.
This moving and insightful piece by award winning company Sunday's Child aims to provoke compassion and debate around the subject of eating disorders.
Having battled with an eating disorder in her earlier years, Overshadowed is the culmination of writer and performer Eva
O'Connor's long-seated ambition to create work around the subject. Eating disorders are sorely misunderstood - much like depression, they are seen to be a personal failing of the sufferer rather than an illness which strikes indiscriminately.
Through the character of Caol, the personification of anorexia, Eva wished create a clear distinction between the sufferer of the eating disorder and the condition itself.
In Overshadowed, Caol (meaning narrow in Irish) is a demonic, manipulative presence with a dangerously powerful hold over Imogene. By physicalising anorexia the audience are presented with a visual manifestation Imogene's battle with her demons, and are able to see the devastating mental and physical effects the condition can have on the sufferer and their loved one.
