Exam

Synopsis:
a taut stage version of Stuart Hazeldine's cult thriller exam from 2009. This clever adaptation by Craig Hepworth, Richard Allen and Stuart Reeve saw eight unnamed candidates arrive in an eerily white room for the job interview from hell. If you thought TV's the Apprentice was tough, well this knocks spots off it. there can only be one successful candidate for the one job. the first problem the four men and women faced is that they have not been told what the question is that they have to confront, which makes it almost impossible to fathom the answer. What unfolds in this intriguing and entirely diverting 75-minute Drama is an essay in how far people will go to get what they want. - British theatre Guide
