‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ play dates, times and tickets
Play: The Play That Goes Wrong
Playwrights: Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Hendry Shields
Genre: Comedy/Farce
Synopsis: The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is preparing to stage their new production, the 1920s murder mystery Murder at Haversham Manor. However the set is not yet complete and there is no time to finish it off … the show must go on! With a murder (and a moving corpse) established 
from the beginning, the murder mystery gets into full flow. However, the props start to disappear, actors go missing and the set begins to collapse around, and often on, the cast. Mayhem ensues, the acting gets worse, and the set becomes increasingly dangerous, but the company soldier on regardless. The question is whether any of the cast and crew will remain standing, or conscious, 
by the final curtain?!
