A darkly funny Scottish tale of chaos, self-discovery, and redemption after one gobstopper mishap.
Straight from Glasgow’s SKELF Theatre Co.—winners of the Prague Fringe Audience and Inspiration Awards—Gobstopper makes its New York debut at the SoHo Playhouse. In a small Scottish town, one man’s near-fatal encounter with a gobstopper sets off a chain reaction of disastrous decisions and hilariously ill-timed remarks. What follows is a raw, darkly comic exploration of self-discovery, accountability, and the struggle to define oneself in a world eager to decide for you. Written by Leyla Aycan, Gobstopper blends biting humor with emotional depth, revealing how easily chaos can unravel—and reshape—a life.
