What an incredible piece of theatre Bonkers Theatrical have created – again. Simple story, or so it seems, eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of selection for a top job with a powerful corporation. They are now required to sit an exam and that it how the set appears – to begin with. Eight tables and chairs set in a typical exam style room. The candidates take their seats and the invigilator appears and explains to rules They have one question to answer and 75 minutes to do this. They turn their papers over – but no question. – so what to do now? Oh I forgot to mention there is an armed guard at the door ready to evict anyone who breaks the rules. As the play revolves the characters reveal how far they will go to secure that top job. The tension rises to almost breaking point as the clock ticks down to zero. Everyone on stage is superbly cast and the technical crew are brilliant. This piece of drama is what all amateur theatre is all about. It is not possible to mention anyone individually as everyone is important in this incredible piece of theatre. One person I must mention is Mark Walker who has adapted this piece from a film and for his superb -direction. Congratulations to everyone taking this “EXAM” – you have all passed!
