Test of Character

Tap The Table Theatre presents Test of Character, A piece of original theatre.

Test of Character was first performed in Northampton but with a reworked script and a change of style the show makes it way to the Horncastle for one night and one night only. The performance sees the return of Thomas Liversidge to Lincolnshire and in turn to Horncastle Theatre. He grew up in the area and recently completed the BA: Honours Acting Course at School of the Arts: The University of Northampton. Completing the cast are fellow graduates Nathan Wyer and Wayne Ingram with current 2nd Year Acting student Rebecca Pearce. This original piece of theatre seeks to ask the question "How much power do we all have over our own lives?" Using heightened-realism, multi roling and some larger than life characters this tragicomedy is sure to make you laugh one minute and cry the next.

The play contains four different stories and follows the ups and downs of twelve characters. A librarian is sought after by two men who have equally bizarre hobbies. Struggling to cope with his wife's illness a husband seeks to find a solution to his problem. After 15 years apart two former rock stars are reunited but a dark secret could be about to rear its head and two teenage social outcasts form an unlikely friendship.
