THE ACID TEST and THE VILLAGE BIKE at the Royal Court

THE ACID TEST by Anya Reiss and THE VILLAGE BIKE by Penelope Skinner have been announced as part of the Royal Court’s new season and will play in the Upstairs Theatre later this year.

THE ACID TEST (13 May – 11 June)
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.

THE VILLAGE BIKE (24 June – 23 July)
Becky’s pregnant and frustrated. But her husband is more interested in the baby manual than her new underwear so she turns to the porn stash under the bed. As the summer heats up, a brief encounter sends her speeding downhill towards reckless abandon.

A provocative and darkly comic look at fantasy and romance.
