When forced to choose between female friendship and being the ultimate guys' girl, she is horrified to discover she might be a feminist. Priced from £9, suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, funny solo show that uses the figure of the fiercely loyal White House receptionist to explore what happens when personal loyalty meets the pull of female solidarity. Chastity is a vivid, contradictory character whose journey toward an unexpected self-revelation gives the comedy real teeth.
