This Play is Pure Fun
"This play was well done, was an absolute riot and our gang enjoyed it immensely. The actors/actresses were perfect for their parts. They were completely convincing when inhabiting their characters, and when going off script!"

Needed a good laugh and this delivered!
"I wasn’t really sure what to expect given the size and layout of the theater but this show had me laughing out loud the whole two hours! The physical comedy was outstanding. Had only participated in a couple of plays in high school/college but good god this show nailed the experience!! Highly recommend for ages 14 and up"

You Can't Go Wrong!!
"We weren't sure what to expect, we had just heard that it was funny! The actors were amazing, perfect comedic timing, playing to the audience. Don't want to give away the plot.....but the entire audience, from the teen-ager next to me to the "older" folks were laughing the entire time!! Younger kids will enjoy the physical comedy while the adults will appreciate the subtleties. You Can't Go Wrong!! "

"I honestly don't think I've ever heard my daughter laugh so hard! And the unbelievable skill it must have taken to make everything fall apart so perfectly is impressive!"

Fun. Fresh. Interactive. This play never gets old!
"We last saw this show two years ago. It was great then. And it was even better this time. While the arc was generally the same, the play had clearly been reinterpreted by the same crew in ways both big and small. My daughter and I loved the fresh take. "

Highly Recommend
"We liked it all. My husband and I had seen it when it was on the road. We liked it so much we wanted to see the Off-Broadway version. So cute! We especially liked the actor who played Cecil. His mugging for the audience was hilarious and totally in keeping with the spirit of the play. The rest of the ensemble was great, too. The fight between the two women was hilarious and the physical element of the play was well done and well timed."

Clean comedy that will leave you rolling
"I don't think there was a single thing I didn't enjoy. It's hard to find comedy that's fun and safe for the whole family, but this hit the mark well. It was successful in being side-splittingly hilarious without being vulgar or having excessive foul language. Great job to the whole cast and crew. I'll likely come back to watch it again with the rest of my family."

Too funny for words!
"Yet here are a few…we laughed til our sides hurt and that was even after we had seen it months before in DC. Everyone needs a good laugh and 2 hours of laughing is even better. You won’t remember anything else that concerns you, at least for those 2 hours!!!"

You’ll laugh ‘til it hurts.
"Forget about “Who dunnit?” You’ll be wondering what’s going to go wrong next. The cast does a fantastic job of trying to keep the play going, but they’re thwarted constantly by a set that won’t behave. The actors are accomplished. The set, well, not so much."

About The Play That Goes Wrong

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!
