The Story

Set in the 1920s The Play That Goes Wrong follows the antics of the Cornley University Drama Society. While staging their production, ‘The murder at Haversham Manor’, things, err, don’t quite go as planned. A lead actor with a concussion, a corpse that can't play dead, actors slipping out of ‘character’, malfunctioning sets, and a complete disaster of misplaced drinks - it’s one mishap after the other. This behind-the-scenes comedy is brilliantly hilarious!

We absolutely loved and enjoyed this play, so original, so funny, with fantastic actors. Hats off to the entire technical team for their exceptional stage set-up (and tear-down!!!). A huge bravo to all of you and thank you so much for this moment of pure happiness. Do not change a thing: everything is just perfect.

First row in the middle was a new but awesome experience. The play itself was painfully funny, really got cramp in our abs :)
