The Play That Goes Wrong
The Play That Goes Wrong follows an ill-fated community theater’s performance of a murder mystery as it encounters numerous mishaps. This 1920’s whodunit has it all: falling props, collapsing scenery, an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything.
