Description
The Play that goes wrong.
About the Show
Created by the Mischief Theatre team behind other hit comedies, The Play That Goes Wrong follows an amateur drama society attempting to perform a murder mystery. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong:
- Scenery collapses
- Props malfunction
- Actors forget lines
- Technical disasters pile up
- The cast desperately tries to keep the show going
The comedy is physical, fast-paced, and packed with visual gags and slapstick humour.
