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.
'A vision of a society where hypervigilance has replaced trust, where the gap between sensible parental oversight and pathological control is frighteningly small... holds the audience spellbound... exposes a fault line of social dysfunction with a relentless and transfixing logic'
* Guardian *'Picks at the psychological sores of a post-Yewtree climate... takes leaps out of the ordinary to illustrate the extremes a mother's love sometimes must endure'
