Money can't buy love, but £19.99/month can get you a mail-order bride directly from the wasteland of Asian stereotypes. Follow her journey as she strives to become unforgettable, but what lies beneath her shiny surface? And how is she forced to transform, destroy and rebuild herself in order to survive? An irreverent, no-holds-barred, bouffonesque myth about the violence our culture inflicts on bodies of colour. Winner of the Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Fund, Best Show (Offies, 2021) and Best Performer in a Play (The Stage Debut Awards, 2022). 'A stand-out show' ***** (Stage). 'Beautiful' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

"Unforgettable Girl is a bouffonesque dark comedy - when you come you'll meet Vaccine, a mail order bride that's come delivered via Amazon Prime promising to be the cure for the deadlier pandemic of loneliness."
Holly, Phoenix Remix, 23rd July 2023EdFringe Talk: Unforgettable Girl
"There will be people who are going to 'not get it', give it a one-star review, or generally find it distasteful - you just have to move on without blaming anyone or losing your stride."

Amy Rye, Lost in Theatreland, 19th July 2023Edinburgh Interview: Elisabeth Gunawan on Unforgettable Girl at Pleasance Courtyard
"Women of colour are constantly marginalized from narratives of womanhood, beauty and freedom. Our bodies and images are constantly exoticized, commodified and shaped as Other and profane".
