About Electra Kolb
Father, Away She Goes is a raw, darkly comedic solo performance by Electra Kolb, exploring the societal taboo of female ambition. The show follows Sarah as she grapples with rejection and isolation from her dream career, consumed by desperation as she questions how far she is willing to push herself. This tragicomedy weaves together the Electra Complex with contemporary themes of love, obsession and the relentless pursuit of ambition — asking what a person would sacrifice to achieve their dream.
Why see this show?
A bold, dark solo performance that digs into female ambition without flinching. If you want theatre that provokes rather than comforts, Sarah's story of obsession and desperation offers something genuinely unsettling and memorable.
