Part satire, part existential meltdown, Shine is a high-energy comedy about clawing your way out of the rat race. It follows one woman's wildly overconfident quest to "shine" in a system designed to crush her. At its centre is a hilariously delusional, self-declared genius who is absolutely certain she can do everything better than everyone else. Packed with laughs and sharp social critique, this show takes the toxic girlboss off her pedestal and asks if ambition is even worth the burnout.
