Thunderbolt Comedy is set to captivate audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024 with its bold and provocative new production, Good Girl. Directed by the esteemed Chris Griswold, this daring show will run from August 12-17 and August 19-25 at Paradise in The Vault, Paradise Green, Edinburgh.
Good Girl invites audiences into the complex world of Rhiannon, a character masterfully portrayed by Rhiannon Jenkins. As the epitome of the “good girl” archetype—charming, compliant, and endlessly accommodating—Rhiannon offers a deeper, more thought-provoking exploration of female desire, male fantasies, and societal expectations.
The show promises a captivating blend of humor and insight, exploring everything from allure to the intrigue of the femme fatale. Through a mix of interactive clowning, sketch comedy, and musical parody, Good Girl aims to challenge perceptions and delve into the high stakes of sexual desirability in modern society.
The production not only seeks to entertain but also to empower. Rhiannon Jenkins hopes the show will inspire women to assert their own desires and encourage men to communicate their needs more respectfully. “We want our audience to leave feeling empowered to express their own sexual needs and boundaries,” Jenkins says. “And for men, we hope they gain a deeper understanding of their role in sexualizing women and learn to communicate desires respectfully.”
Ideal for an audience of 18 and above, particularly those who enjoy interactive theatre, Good Girl has already been praised for its immersive and engaging approach. Whether you’re part of a stag or hen party, or simply looking for a thought-provoking night out, Good Girl promises a memorable experience.
Rhiannon Jenkins, a trained actor and writer with a background in musical theatre and immersive productions, and Chris Griswold, a seasoned director with over 25 years in the improv comedy scene, bring their extensive experience to this groundbreaking production.
