Boisil Night is a two-act drama set in the present day in the Scottish Borders. 

Inhabitants of a small village gather in the community hall as the nearby river overflows its banks. The caretaker has gone, leaving the hall in the hands of a stranger.

In the first act personalities and conflicts emerge over relationships, gender identity and a planned housing development. The second act shifts backwards and forwards in time as each character’s life is laid bare and the stranger’s identity is finally revealed.
