Synopsis: | The Test is about a paternity test that a young father undertakes to dispel the nagging doubt that his beloved toddler son may in fact not be his own. The play raises questions about the definition of fatherhood and family, of community and belonging, and questions the meaning of truth and authenticity. Barfuss's witty exploration of what the paternity test means for today's family - and, on a deeper level, what happens when we allow science to act as our only barometer of truth - will have you on the edge of your seat, and thinking deeply about the ties that bind us to those we love. It carries real pain, private and public. It can also be, in Birgit Schreyer Duarte's excellent translation, laughout-loud funny, even if its audience may not always feel much like laughing.
