What happens when the most important exam of your life goes spectacularly off the rails?

​

Set in a pressure-cooker exam hall, The Exam is a razor-sharp comedy that turns the familiar terror of test day into a brilliantly escalating farce. As students wrestle with impossible questions and ticking clocks, panic spreads, rules unravel, and the veneer of calm authority begins to crack.

​

When one small incident disrupts the silence, it triggers a chain reaction of misunderstandings, rebellion, and comic chaos. Teachers scramble to maintain order, students seize unexpected opportunities, and the entire system teeters on the brink — all under the watchful eye of the invigilator.

​

Packed with Andy Hamilton’s trademark wit, biting observation, and perfectly timed absurdity, The Exam is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud look at stress, ambition, and the madness of modern education.

 

Smart, sharp, and hilariously relatable — anyone who’s ever sat an exam will recognise the pressure… and love the chaos.
