Annie Ragsdale - Rennie

As an actor and as a woman, being in this play was very difficult.  I remember the first week of rehearsal, I would stand on a stage and read what I thought were just lines from a script.  I knew eating disorders we terrible problems, but I never could have imagined to what extent.  While doing research, I read stories from dozens of women/young girls who suffered from bulimia.  The hate each one of these women felt about themselves astounded me.  I think I can sum up this hate with a quote from a
bulimic woman named Jamie I came across..

"This is a reason to hate myself.  It's my revenge on the world but I am the hostage."
