THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields

September 1st to November 9th on Gilliam Stage

The Play That Goes Wrong is an ill-fated play-within-a-play, set on the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. Throughout the night things go from bad to utterly disastrous as their leading lady is knocked unconscious, their corpse can’t play dead, and their actors trip over everything – including their own lines! Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences. Come see why this show is called “the funniest play Broadway has ever seen!”

Content Advisories: (ML, V, O) – Very mild language, people are knocked unconscious in a farcical manner, mild sexual references, gunshots. More information.
