SHIT

THEATRE ROYAL BACKSPACE, UNTIL SATURDAY, JULY 8 This is a story of three girls – Billy, Bobby and Sam – who defy societal expectations of what women should and shouldn’t do. The girls are everything females shouldn’t be: foul-mouthed, rude and uncaring. They fight, scream and swear too much, which has made audiences and critics take note, and led to the play picking up four Green Room Awards when it premiered in 2015. Tickets are priced from $20 from festivalofvoices.com/shit
