About the Show
The Play that Goes Wrong made its West End debut in 2012 at Old Red Lion Theatre, before moving to Trafalgar Studios the next year. After the UK tour in 2014, the play opened in Duchess Theatre on 14 September 2014. The dysfunctional set, combined with the actors' well-timed clumsy comedy makes for a spectacular show loved by audiences of all ages.
The Story of The Play that Goes Wrong
The Play that Goes Wrong revolves around the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society's performance of The Murder at Haversham Manor. During the performance, a number of things don't quite go as planned. From misplacing props to breaking characters, everything possible goes wrong, that is until the climax scene, when the whole set practically collapses!
