The 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?

“As powerful and sharp as a vodka cocktail” The Stage

The Acid Test opened at the Royal Court in May 2011. Written by award winning and critically acclaimed playwright, Anya Reiss (Spring Awakening, Eastenders).
