Hot Flush (2019)
An original comedy set in a ladies' toilet, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019 at Gilded Balloon's Patter Hoose. Written by Phoebe Taylor and Nikki Peach Directed by Phoebe Taylor Produced by Asha Osborne-Grinter
It's 11:24am and day two of Sinead's hereto disastrous hen party. Hungover at bottomless brunch after several unfulfilling rickshaw rides and a gruelling night at Clapham's should-be-closed-down nightclub Inferno's, the six hens begin crisis talks in the ladies toilets. Tensions are bubbling in the group, leaving the atmosphere significantly more carbonated than the lukewarm prosecco on offer. The gloves are off, the ballsack headbands are out and someone has been in the end cubicle for far too long. Expect gossiping, vomiting, penis pasta and Katie Price... not necessarily in that order.
"The writing was truly impressive: fresh and funny." - Intermission Bristol

"The characters feel like a millennial cast of Sex in the City, each one representing different personalities that you often finds in friendship groups" - Ed Fest Mag
"Acing the Bechdel Test, Hot Flush is an entertaining take on female friendship and an important examination of the financial and time pressures under which young women are increasingly placing themselves and each other with engagements, hen parties, weddings, and all the accompanying demands." - The Play's the Thing UK
