What if your anger just simmers underneath? If it never quite reaches boiling point, but it’s present, burning your insides.Combining spoken word, football chants, live art and theatre, Martha Pailing's one-woman show Chat Sh*t, Get Hit dives into women's anger: how it fuels, how it festers and how it is swallowed. A funny and uncompromising new show about recovery, solidarity and the suppression of women's rage.

‘A tour de force of female rage and vulnerability’ A Youngish Perspective
‘A powerhouse performance. I’ve never wanted to bark so badly in my entire life. This spoken-word piece exploring feminine rage gripped me to the core. A stunning piece of theatre.’ What the Fringe
