I know my boy. I’d know if something had happened to him.
Maddy and Rory are devoted parents to 3-year-old
Joshua, committed to keeping him happy and safe. But
when an everyday visit to a supermarket café turns into
a far more troubling incident, their trust even in those
closest to them is shattered. Fear and doubt consume
them, until they reach a savage breaking point.
Gut is a taut psychological thriller that explores who
we can trust with our children. And whether it’s more
dangerous not to trust at all.
Written by Fringe First award-winning playwright
Frances Poet (Adam), Gut was shortlisted for the
Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and is directed by
award-winning Traverse Associate Director Zinnie Harris.

‘An unforgettable thunderbolt of feeling.’
THE SCOTSMAN ON ADAM By Francis Poet
‘The script is witty and profound, as it should be in a
play where the power of language is a key theme.’
