The Play That Goes Wrong
by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields
Directed by Curtis Ransom
May 19 – June 10, 2023
After benefitting from a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on producing an ambitious 1920s murder mystery. They are delighted that neither casting issues nor technical hitches currently stand in their way. However, a hilarious series of disasters ensues and the cast start to crack under the pressure. Can they get the production back on track before the final curtain falls? With mayhem, mishaps and malapropisms lurking around every corner, all signs point to no!
The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play, conceived and performed by award-winning company Theatre Mischief.
