Would you trade five years of your life for the perfect body?

A new play touring the UK this spring asks audiences this question and tells the story of one woman prepared to do just that.

5 Years, which comes to The Dukes in Lancaster May 4, uses hologram technology to turn the spotlight on body dissatisfaction and the effects it can have on mental health.

The show centres on Yasmin, a woman in her 30s who wants the exciting, glamorous life she has always dreamed of but that her XXL body doesn't fit.
