Acid Test
This has been the worst day of my life. So can you please get drunk with me?
Dana, Ruth and Jess down shots to console the heart-broken, to comfort the anxious and just pass the time. Kicked out from the family home Jess’s dad, Jim, invades the party with just as much recklessness as the girls. As the night passes and vodka bottles are emptied, Friday night in becomes high drama. An unruly new comedy asking if age equals maturity, Acid Test opened at the Royal Court in May 2011.
The Acid Test is the second play from ANYA REISS, whose play Spur of the Moment premiered at the Royal Court in July 2010, winning her the award for Most Promising Playwright at both the Evening Standard and Critics Circle awards and the TMA award for Best New Play. Anya completed the Young Writers Programme at the Royal Court and wrote her first play when she was 17.
