From London's infamous West End to New York City's Broadway comes a play guaranteed to make you cry with laughter! The Play That Goes Wrong is everything you didn't expect and more, extending their prolific run until the end of the year!
Why Watch The Play That Goes Wrong
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong is one of this year's theater must-sees! Celebrating the best and worst of theater, the show is slapstick comedy at its best. Written by Olivier Award winners Jonathan Sayer, Henry Lewis, and Henry Shields, and co-produced by superstar J.J. Abrams and Kevin McCollum (Rent, Avenue Q, and Something Rotten!), alongside London producer Kenny Wax, witness this talented troupe's masterpiece in action.
Set in the 1920s The Play That Goes Wrong follows the antics of the Cornley University Drama Society. While staging their production, 'The murder at Haversham Manor', things, err, don't quite go as planned. A lead actor with a concussion, a corpse that can't play dead, actors slipping out of 'character', malfunctioning sets, and a complete disaster of misplaced drinks - it's one mishap after the other. This behind-the-scenes comedy is brilliantly hilarious!
