The Play That Goes Wrong

  • By Henry Lewis, Henry Shields & Jonathan Sayer
  • Directed by Dámaso Rodríguez

JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More

It’s opening night for the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s production of the 1920s murder mystery Murder of Haversham Manor and from lights up the cast and crew are in an uphill battle to the final curtain. The set isn’t steady and neither are the actors as they trip over their lines, set pieces and a murder victim who has a hard time playing dead. In this uproarious comedy, anything that can go wrong, absolutely will… with fantastic flair!

“A gut-busting hit! The audience roared as loudly as the crowds at any wrestling match.” — The New York Times
