Iris is 27, broke, exhausted, and paralysed by the terror of failure. Shes spent years chasing a version of success that always feels just out of reach, haunted by the belief that if she stops running, shell disappear entirely.
Now, between humiliating auditions and obsessive social media doomscrolling, mostly stalking a girl from school who somehow got everything right, something else is demanding her attention: her mother.
Her mothers voice still rings in her ears, a constant reminder that she must always be thinner, better, more. Even now, as her mother grows weaker and begins to depend on her, the pressure hasnt lifted, its only changed shape.
Good For Her! is a sharp, intimate solo show from emerging writer and performer Mollie Semple. It is about rebellion and conformity, shaped by fear, comparison, and a hunger for validation she cant quite name. Its about ambition, anxiety, and the quiet tragedy of building a life on someone elses terms.
Directed by Kayla Stokes, this production pairs gut-punch honesty with surreal edge, bringing a raw, intimate story to life. Kaylas credits include Ars Nova ANT Fest, NYTW, and Battersea Arts Centre. Good for Her! marks their first collaboration, bringing together their shared interest in female led, emotionally charged storytelling.
