Measured

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Emma O'Brien. Emma wrote the play Measured, which has was fortunate enough to see a week or so ago.

Measured is a play demonstrating the impact an eating disorder can have on the individual and their loved ones. Measured begins the day Sophie, the lead character, is discharged from the hospital. Following this, Measured explore the impact of recovery on identity, "normal life", relationships, and life in general.

With Emma, we discuss the premise of Measured and how she came about writing such an incredible play. We discuss her experience, how this shaped the play, and how she gained insight from others to make sure eating disorders were portrayed in a real, informative, and thought-provoking manner.
