About the show
Going wrong never felt so right than in The Play That Goes Wrong which tells the story of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society and their hazardous way to curtain up.
This ‘masterpiece of malfunction’ (The Times) crashes into its ninth chaotic year in London’s West End at the Duchess Theatre.
You know the classic whodunnit story: there has been a murder at a country manor and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this plot is given to the accident-prone thespians at The Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong does.
The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself.
Experience total mayhem and enjoy the perfect slice of escapist comedy, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter.
