Channelling the feral undercurrent of mean girl culture and the intoxicating violence of suppressed feminine rage, Rip Her To Shreds examines internalised misogyny and the nuances of early 2000s girlhood. After being dumped by her boyfriend for a shiny new freshman, wannabe queen bee Beth and her unruly dorm-mates Mercy and Bo spiral into a feverish cycle of obsession and rivalry, their fixation on boys, bodies and social status warping into something far more dangerous as each girl discovers volatile magical powers. Through a lyrical script and sharp fast-paced physical comedy that captures their demonic possession and impulses, loyalties fracture and reform, exposing the simmering aggression beneath their glossy facades. Created out of frustration with the way young women are portrayed and belittled in popular media, Rip Her To Shreds unmasks the culture of gossip and cruelty in a skewering of toxic hierarchies imposed on young women.
