NIGHT, IDIOT

A Play, A Pie & A Pint Spring Season 2025
Produced by A Play, A Pie & a Pint in association with the Traverse Theatre and the Lemon Tree.

★★★★ ~ The Scotsman
”Bullock’s ingenious script… handled deftly and with feeling”
★★★★ ~ The Stage
”Conceptuously adventurous comedic work. An intelligent, absorbing tale of a missing man by promising playwright Zoë Bullock… There are a lot of laughs, but Bullock also deftly dives into the deeper, darker waters of class, relationships, ghosting, depression and modern masculinity.”

A darkly comedic, rip-roaring theatrical ride about one woman’s quest for impossible answers.

Dani has it all. Great job, new flat, perfect boyfriend Paul…until one morning, she wakes up to find he’s disappeared. No note, no explanation. Forced into an uneasy alliance with her pressure-cooker mother-in-law, Dani searches for Paul. But she can’t help but obsess over all the reasons why he might have vanished, as she relives the night before he disappeared over, and over, and over again.
