About great thing going
How To Feel Feelings is a 50-minute semi-devised dark comedy from Berlin-based theatre collective great thing going, performed at Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Five supporters of a fallen authoritarian regime are sentenced to group therapy to help them understand why they embraced fascism. The show asks what justice looks like for those who were, perhaps, not-so-innocent bystanders — and proposes therapy as the ultimate solution. Tickets are £12, with a concession rate of £10. Suitable for ages 14 and over. Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes.
Why see this show?
A darkly comic take on collective guilt and political complicity, filtered through the absurd lens of compulsory group therapy. Great thing going asks difficult questions with a light touch — what do you do with the true believers once the regime has fallen?
