Good For Her!
Turning comparison culture into live chaos, Good For Her! returns to London.
After a critically acclaimed run at Theatre503, Good For Her! powers into The Other Palace for a hotly anticipated return to London. This sharp, subversive solo show from emerging writer performer Mollie Semple (Dumping, Cockpit Theatre; Persephone, Brighton Fringe) is a darkly funny gut-punch about ambition, womanhood and the calamity of building a life on everyone else’s terms.
Using multimedia to bridge the gap between curated Instagram worlds and reality on stage, Good For Her! pulls the quiet panic of comparison culture and flips it on its head. Audiences follow Iris as she ricochets between ambition, envy and the exhausting performance of ‘having it all together’, all while caring for her narcissistic mother as her health deteriorates. As compulsive doom scrolling and an obsessive fixation on a former schoolmate who seems to have ‘made it’ take hold, her reality begins to distort and rewrite itself in real time - building toward a confrontation she can no longer avoid. Navigating a ‘stalled’ acting career, Iris is left circling a question many women are trained to swallow: how much of yourself must you sacrifice just to get a seat at the table?
Directed by Kayla Stokes, Good For Her! draws audiences into a world where digital life, memory and internal monologue collide. The production explores the pressures placed on women to constantly self improve, self-present and compete. Voices featured throughout the production include Jaquetta May as Iris’s Mum, alongside SNL UK star Al Nash, Zoe Maltby and viral-sensation Jordan Stratton and Sam Morris.
