What is The Play That Goes Wrong about?
Meet the VERY amateur Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, as they attempt to stage a performance of The Murder at Haversham Manor. It’s a classic whodunnit story, but when this plot is given to these accident-prone thespians everything that could go wrong, does!
From misplaced props, to forgotten lines, and from collapsing floors, to stomping on fingers, will the actors and crew make it through to their final curtain call?
Experience the hilarious mayhem and enjoy this slice of escapist comedy, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
