Becky Baker and Chloe Whipple of the Exeter-based all-women company
Theatre Rush guested on Hot Pebbles! on Phonic FM today as we celebrated International Women's Day (prematurely, I know, as it is really this Friday).

All female Exeter-based company, Theatre Rush, begin a residency at the Exeter Bike Shed Theatre from 19 March 2013, starting with their play Flushed which explores the bittersweet side of life. Flushed looks at life in a way that is honest, irreverent, often absurd and very funny.

During their three week residency at The Exeter Bike Shed, they will be joined by Spanish physical theatre duo Little Soldier, Mexican clown Gabriela Muñoz, Bristol based Sally Jenkinson and Nuala Honan and Infectious Theatre, who all agree that life is funny even when it hurts. As a company of four women,

Theatre Rush are excited to be bringing such high calibre, professional female theatre companies to Exeter.
