The Play That Goes Wrong

What the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society lack in skill and finesse, they make up for in enthusiasm. Their past performances of iconic theatre shows include The Lion and The Wardrobe, James and the Peach and the beloved musical, Cat. Their latest production is a murder mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor, and is set to be their shining moment, if only they can make it through a show without burning the set down.

The hapless cast struggle to remember where they are meant to be, props are misplaced or broken and lines are frequently forgotten - everything that could go wrong, does. Delightfully disastrous, The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious Olivier Award-winning comedy that has had London audiences in stitches at the Duchess Theatre since 2014. Produced by Mischief Theatre (Comedy About A Bank Robbery), this hysterical show will have you wondering how a show where everything is so wrong could be so right!
