Couple Goals
by Rhiannon Boyle
Directed by Eva Sampson
In collaboration with the Sherman Theatre
A thought-provoking, sinister satire where three seemingly ordinary Gen Z couples are thrust into the surreal world of the reality TV show - Couple Goals. As every element of their lives is commodified, the contestants' reach breaking point. They’re humiliated and traumatised, but who is to blame - the naive contestants, the manipulative producers or us, the voyeuristic audience?

For Couple Goals, it was all about obtaining something natural and then pushing exaggeration, taking the roles people play in relationships and pushing them to a ridiculous extreme. The director and I started with something natural or believable, then warped it into something cartoonish. I was interested in how far you can stretch these facades before they snap, and what that says about how we present ourselves, especially when in the public eye.
