THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields

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.

Join the hapless Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to present a classic 1920s murder mystery—but chaos is their constant companion. From wayward props to missed cues and outrageous performances, their best-laid plans unravel into a riotous cascade of mishaps that will leave you doubled over with laughter.

As the determined cast and crew valiantly try to salvage their play, their efforts spiral further into comedic disaster. Lines are forgotten, scenery collapses, and the director’s mounting frustration only adds to the hilarity. Every moment is an unpredictable mix of slapstick and farce that showcases the art of things going spectacularly wrong.

Celebrated worldwide for its gut-busting humor and sheer entertainment, The Play That Goes Wrong guarantees an unforgettable evening of fun for audiences of all ages. Prepare to laugh out loud as this theatrical disaster turns into comedy gold!
