Some mothers bake. Some mothers craft. Some mothers quietly research Victorian infanticide while their toddler screams down the house.
Anna Bennett is supposed to be writing a book. Instead, she’s spiralling—sleep-deprived, stretched thin, and more than a little obsessed with the past. Stuck on a remote Scottish island with a husband who cares more about puffins than parenting, she’s just about holding it together. Until she and her son find something buried in the garden.
A darkly funny and deeply unsettling one-woman play, Night Waking is an urgent, razor-sharp meditation on motherhood, colonialism, and the things we leave behind. Adapted by Shireen Mula from Sarah Moss’s novel, it’s a thrilling deep dive into love, exhaustion, and what happens when history refuses to stay buried.
