About The Play That Goes Wrong

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a Broadway show—a ramshackle set, a leading lady with a concussion, and a corpse that can’t play dead. It’s a classic murder mystery… and it’s a mystery how it ever got to Broadway!

Hysterical funny
"I bought tickets for my husbands birthday and didn't know much about the show other than seeing other raving reviews. I am so glad we did because this show exceeded our expectations! We told all our family and friends they need to see this show for a good laugh. You know things are going to "go wrong", but you don't expect it to be this good! Highly Recommend!!"

Amazing, entertaining, laugh out loud must see show
"The Play That Goes Wrong is a great show filled with talented actors that will make you laugh, clap, cheer, gasp, and wonder how those two hours went so quickly! My 16 year old son and I absolutely loved it saying to each other as we left the theater that mom has to see it, and, we couldn't wait to see it again. The set is also a star of the show with the performers getting every inch out of it. The intimate theater adds to the overall experience as well. The Play That Goes Wrong is a shining example as to the power of live performances and the dedication of the talented artists, wardrobe, tech, stage crew and more that create, develop, craft, run and finally perform the show."

Fantastic!
"Great actors indeed! Very funny play! I went to watch it after a long day at work ,and the fast pace kept me awake and I laughed a lot.I also liked my seat ,even though it wasn't at the front ,nor middle ,I could see everything.There was a short break , good to stretch a bit and grab some snacks. I'm glad I had got the chance to watch it."
