About The Play That Goes Wrong

Honestly, this show really is a laugh a minute... literally. Probably many more than just one laugh per minute, they come so thick and fast. The Play That Goes Wrong is a total scream. Imagine you like your theatre funny. Very funny. You want to leave the premises in pieces, red in the face with giggles? No problem at all. This is your show. The Play That Goes Wrong is a feast of silliness of the finest order, both physical and verbal, and audience members say they haven't laughed this much for years. If it's possible to go wrong, it goes badly wrong, and the results are side-splitting.

What's the story of The Play That Goes Wrong?

Drama Societies put on serious plays and everything always goes fine... NOT! When the accident prone, horribly disorganised Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society lands an unexpected sum of money, they decide to use it well. They stage a tricky 1920s murder mystery, but things go awry right from the start and never improve. One disaster follows another, the audience can be seen guffawing, tears streaming down their faces. Will the troupe ever manage to pin things down and sort themselves out? Probably not!

Who is on the The Play That Goes Wrong creative team?

Created by the Mischief Theatre Company, this mighty fine comedic production won What's on Stage's coveted Best New Comedy award in 2014. Direction comes from the talented Mark Bell, and design from the equally clever Nigel Hook with lighting by Ric Mountjoy. Kenny Wax Ltd and Stage Presence Ltd present the show. The stars are many and glittery, and their names are Chris Currie, Dave Hearn, Rob Falconer, Henry Lewis and Alys Metcalf, plus Charlie Russell, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields, Greg Tannahill and Nancy Wallinger. Well done for creating one of the silliest comedies of our times.
