THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields & Jonathan Sayer

Royal manitoba theatre centre

JOHN HIRSCH MAINSTAGE

Directed by Dennis Garnhum

Produced in Association with The Citadel and Theatre Calgary.

Despite their spotty track record, the Cornley Drama Society has high hopes for their new production. The Murder at Haversham Manor should be a real crowd pleaser. Who doesn’t love a murder mystery set in a grand manor – during a fancy engagement party, no less? Sadly, if you believe this show will go off without a hitch, you’d be dead wrong. Thwarted by missing props, a malfunctioning set and some questionable acting choices, this ill-fated production unravels at an alarming rate. By the end of the show, solving a murder is the least of everyone’s worries.
 
Called “a riotous explosion of comedy” (The Daily Beast) and “a gut-busting hit” (New York Times), The Play That Goes Wrong is the right choice if you’re looking for a hilarious night at the theatre.
