About this show
A curse has fallen on 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. Zinnie Harris (Further Than The Furthest Thing, This Restless House, Meet me at Dawn) writes and directs this Traverse Theatre world-premiere production at Traverse Festival 2026.

Well performed, often funny and consistently intriguing, Supposing: holds the attention throughout. A thought-provoking piece of contemporary theatre and I would recommend catching this, if you can get a ticket.
— One4Review (4 out of 5 stars)
Celebrated playwright Zinnie Harris’ Supposing is the perfect vehicle for the powerhouse who is Nicole Cooper, here portraying Sally, the next in a long line of women who struggle to be believed.
— The List (4 out of 5 stars)
3.5 Stars In a world of predictable storylines, it's so refreshing to see an original, unique play crafted by a skilled writer - I had no idea where the narrative of this play was going to go.
