The Play That Goes Wrong

Event

The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes, things go from bad to utterly disastrous when the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society performs a classic murder mystery.

You all know the classic whodunnit story; there has been a murder at a country manor and an inspector is set on the case to find the culprit. But when these accident-prone thespians take it on, everything that can go wrong…does!

The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Who murdered Charles Haversham? You'll have to see for yourself!

Complete with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines).
