The Good Guy?

“The Good Guy?” is a new play that explores the impact that enforced gender norms have on young people growing up in the digital age. Online extremism, especially extreme misogyny, has been normalised to the extent that, for many young adults and teens, it has become an invisible background noise. The result: a rise in online communities like « incels » (involuntary celibates) and the popularity of figures like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson.

“The Good Guy?” examines what impact this pervasive online rhetoric has on young people through two characters: Katie & Dylan. Their stories unfold in a blend of sometimes comic, sometime tragic scenes and monologues. As the play develops their initially separate stories become more heavily intertwined building towards a potentially explosive climax.

« The Good Guy? » is directed by Tony Kingston and stars Alessandro Stasi and Rachel Kathry Lloyd in the leading roles.
