What Is The Play That Goes Wrong About?
The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is a hobby theatre group (catastrophically unlucky), performing a 1920s murder mystery in their play, Murder at Haversham Manor. As the name indicates, nothing that is supposed to go wrong, goes wrong. People who book The Play That Goes Wrong London Tickets are aware that they will be eager to spend their evening on collapsing sets, forgotten lines, missing props, and out-of-sync cues and actors against their characters and stage. By all the misfortunes of the plot, the stubborn cast drags onwards to the end curtains -bringing in a night of pure comedic genius which has now become a legend in the London Theatre scene.
The production has had West End success, several UK tours, and international recognition since first premiering in 2012, including the 2015 Olivier Award of Best New Comedy. It is being called by critics as gut-busting, masterfully malfunctioning, and screamingly hilarious, and celebrities including Joanna Lumley and Ant and Dec have proclaimed it to be one of the funniest London Shows they have ever been to.
This West End show has an outstanding cast that includes: Robert Jackson, Jack Hardwick, Jonty Peach, Charlotte Scott, Ronnie Yorke, Izzy Edmunds-Clarke, Mitesh Soni, and Tom Wainwright, and the laughs are endless.
