Programme Note

Push! takes its audience on a roller coaster journey which combines the comic and the tragic; the epic and the deeply personal; the surreal and the everyday, in an intense and vivid portrait of one of the most extreme, and yet the most natural events that a human being can go through – the process of giving birth.
