‘What if your anger just simmers underneath? If it never quite reaches boiling point, but it’s present, burning your insides?’
Combining spoken word, live art and football chants, Chat Sh*t, Get Hit is a funny and uncompromising new show about recovery, solidarity and the suppression of women’s rage.

Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
