The Other Palace
Iris is broke, exhausted, and running out of time. She’s spent years chasing a version of success that always seems just out of reach, haunted by the belief that if she stops she’ll disappear entirely. Between humiliating auditions and obsessive doomscrolling (mostly stalking a girl from school who somehow got everything right), something darker is demanding her attention: her mother. Her mother’s voice is always ringing in her ears. Thinner, better, more. But now, as her mother grows weaker and begins to depend on her, the pressure hasn’t lifted. It’s just changed shape. And Iris is starting to unravel. Good For Her! is a comedy-thriller about ambition, womanhood, and the quiet violence of building a life on someone else’s terms. Written and performed by Mollie Semple and directed by Kayla Stokes, this acclaimed solo show blends live performance with projections and voiceover to create an immersive, fractured world where the noise never stops and Iris is never truly alone.
