Gut

by Frances Poet

Maddy and Rory are devoted parents to three-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 in those closest to them is shattered.

Frances Poet's play Gut is a taut psychological thriller that who can be trusted with our children – and is it more dangerous not to trust at all?

Gut was first produced at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in association with the National Theatre of Scotland, in 2018. It was directed by Zinnie Harris.

The fear of 'stranger-danger' becomes as dangerous to a young mother as any palpable event of such in Poet's intriguing play. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/201....

Such an intricate study of fear, love and trust. A really beautiful mixture of precisely drawn realism and truthful surrealism.
