IN THE MIRROR
Two all beef legs,
no neck
huge boobs
fat cheeks.
All on a sesame seed bun.
Hello, my name is Sancia Robinson, I am 16 years old and I am a size 10... but it's OK... I know I should be a size 8...
I'll only drink water
I'll live on fresh air
I'll float through the heavens
With the moon in my hair.
AT THE TABLE
What's this Mum? Squash... What's she got squash on here for?
How many calories has squash got in it? I think it's got 36.
HOSPITAL
Uh Oh... I've really done it this time. There's nothing wrong with me. Well, nothing that a sausage roll wouldn't fix. If I could eat a sausage roll. If I could eat anything. But I can't.
Based on the personal experience of the actor Sancia Robinson, What is the Matter with Mary Jane? bravely examines the nightmare of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia, from the perspective of one who has made it through to the sanity of self - acceptance.
Brimming with courage, humour and poignancy.
