REVIEWS
‘Emilie Collyer’s The Good Girl is the show that made me notice it. Ballardian. Sontagian. Like a post cyber punk Gertrude Stein.’
Theatre Alive
‘Smart, slick and funny, The Good Girl reveals a future that asks a lot of questions and gives the present (and the people watching it) a lot to answer for. Clear, complex, crystallised story: big ideas, with an even bigger heart.’
Heckler
'Collyer’s witty two-hander merges black comedy with the absurd and the political, using sharp, well observed and funny dialogue.'
