Testament

PART OF INCOMING FESTIVAL 2019

Testament is an award-winning play exploring suicide, loss and guilt.

In the beginning God created the heavens and Earth and… Max! Max is in a car crash with his brother and his girlfriend Tess, who dies in the accident. Following the loss of Tess, he tries to commit suicide and fails, but when he wakes up, he believes she is still alive, leaving him left questioning what happened.

Answers appear as apparitions of modernised biblical characters, aiding Max in his discovery or tempting him away. His only hope of recovery lies in the hands of his brother, Chris.

Chalk Line Theatre is a multi award-winning Luton, Nottingham and London-based company formed in 2018. The company consists of Sam Edmunds and William Patrick Harrison, both of whom trained on the BA Acting and Contemporary Theatre course at East 15 Acting School, receiving the Sir John Gielgud Award and The Jack Petchey Award as individuals.
