THIS TOO SHALL PASS
Erin, a woman who has spent her formative years seeking mental health treatment is consumed by the need to understand the person at the centre of it all – Herself.
A waiting room, a private space, a rave, a spectacle, this live immersive theatre experience compels audiences to interact with their surroundings and engage with the inner turmoil of an individual trapped in an overwhelmed mental health system.
Please note Contains loud noise, strobe lighting and references to mental health. This performance is unseated with limited seating available.
Developed at FRINGE LAB. Supported by Dublin Fringe Festival’s Make Space for Art Fund and the Trinity Association and Trust.

GOOD GURL is being kept on a ward in Tallaght hospital against her will. During her stay in this well-lit hell, GOOD GURL comes to terms with her personal failings and the crimes against the State that landed her there. But GOOD GURL isn’t alone.She navigates the ward amidst stranger’s outbursts and even stranger health care professionals. In this darkly comedic satire, laughter and empathy intertwine to shed light on issues women have faced in Ireland for generations, offering an ode to self-preservation and resilience.”
