Summary
An urgent new play from Zinnie Harris, winner of a Scotsman Fringe First award 2026.
I haven’t said it out loud
I haven’t said it to a single soul
I say it to myself sometimes
I look at my horrible face
I vomit it down the toilets
I scream it into the night
I don’t even know if I could form the words to another human
I mean I could say the words
I could literally say the words, but then I would have to deal with it
We would have to deal with it here
In this room
A curse has fallen upon Sally’s house. Unexpected, unwanted and hard to shake.
Worst of all, no one will believe her. As the line between certainty and doubt begins to blur, Sally must decide whether to trust what she sees, and what happens if she’s right.
Supposing: opened at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2026.
Critic Reviews
If the Western world is currently living through the strangest of moments – a bizarre mix of the apocalyptic, the self-absorbed, and the frantically busy everyday – then no poet or theatre-maker captures that crisis, and its impact on women, more vividly than the brave and remarkable Zinnie Harris.
Critic Reviews
A play where the extraordinary and the ordinary sit comfortably side by side . . . quietly, deftly done.
Critic Reviews
A richly expansive outpouring of anger and frustration at the world . . . a call for collective defiance . . . an explosive piece of contemporary myth-making.
Critic Reviews
There is a subtle, slow-burning power to Zinnie Harris’s Supposing . . . a probing investigation into what truth actually means in a post-truth age.
Critic Reviews
A deceptively powerful play . . . gripping and at times darkly comic.
