'facts not Opinions': Stretched to the Limit

This spring, Kirkaldy's Testing Works - an historic, Grade II* former workshop and museum in the heart of Bankside - will open its doors for several exclusive, fun but slightly surreal pop-up performances over three days.
Set in the world's first independent, commercial materials testing works, audiences will join in with a surprise extravaganza that's been 200 years in the planning. Come and mingle with eccentric Victorian characters and test your mettle in an entertaining hour-long immersive drama (Times: Thur March 30 and Fri March 31 7pm and 8.30pm; Sat April 1 - 3pm, 7pm and 8.30pm.)

What you will experience:
Celebrated Victorian engineer David Kirkaldy is having a surprise party - and you're invited, but only if you come up to scratch! This immersive experience offers guests the opportunity to secretly join the celebrations. Once inside The Testing and Experimenting Works, challenge your strength and wiles against Kirkaldy's scrutiny and the mighty million-pound Universal Testing machine... A proper Victorian knees-up lies in wait for those who pass the test.
Guests will weave their way through rooms in this unique and atmospheric former 19th century factory including Kirkaldy's office, the factory workshop and the basement, all filled with music, soundscapes and the Scottish engineer's original testing machines, including the 14.5m-long Universal Testing Machine he had designed, commissioned and patented in 1863.
'Facts not Opinions': Stretched to the limit has been created by theatre makers and performers Sammy Kissin and Al Barclay, as part of Blackfriars Stories commissioned by Southwark Council.
The show is inspired by the link between Blackfriars Bridge and Kirkaldy's Testing Works and was originally conceived to mark the 200th anniversary of David Kirkaldy's birth.
