Agatha Christie meets Noises Off in this hilarious new farce.
Originally premiering at the Old Red Lion Theatre in London 2012 under the title The Murder Before Christmas, this one act version of Mischief Theatre’s world-famous play was expanded to a two-act version in 2014 and opened on Broadway in 2017.
The (One-Act) Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious new farce following the cast and crew of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they put on their latest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, a 1920’s murder mystery play that is destined to be their best show yet! But throughout the show, the company faces twists and turns when the murder victim can’t seem to stay dead, the set turns out to be less than stable and the stage manager finds herself thrust into the spotlight.
When The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society open their latest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, everything that could go wrong does. This makes for a very difficult evening for the intrepid troupe and a side-splittingly fun evening for you.
Tickets are $32-38; with Pick-Your-Price Thursdays and Half-Price Student Tickets
