About The Play That Goes Wrong

Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a Broadway show—a ramshackle set, a leading lady with a concussion, and a corpse that can’t play dead. It’s a classic murder mystery… and it’s a mystery how it ever got to Broadway!

11 year old in awe and stitches
"The family with 2 kids (8yr and 11) had constant laugh out loud moments. It delivered something for all ages. Personally I’m was so impressed with the quality of actors their skill and composure made the performance incredible.

Absolutely hilarious!
"This isn’t just a comedy, it’s a physical comedy. There is so much to watch, and these actors are all fantastic. They make what they do look easy, but you know they are just true talented professionals. You will gasp and laugh out loud even if you try not to. We love the Goes Wrong Show, and it was a real treat to see this full length play acted out live. It did not disappoint. We’ll be back again. And I hope Peter Pan Goes Wrong returns again as well. Keep up the great work, Mischief. And I’d like to thank everyone who contributes to making this play happen, from the actors to the back stage crew. You are all fabulous!"

A very lovely, light-hearted experince
"For my first broadway play and time in NYC, I enjoyed this a lot. I think to new people sometimes broadway comes across as intimidating due to the intensity or immense skill involved. I didn't realize it could be so inviting and fun. I was so happy we chose this show as a part of our honeymoon itinerary. A wonderful way to end the night out. "

Absolutely perfect!
"If you’re looking for an entirely different live theatre experience, “The Play That Goes Wrong” is just what you need. The story and production is unique, the actors are amazing, and my face still hurts from all the laughing. From beginning to end, you felt a part of the show and the actors were brilliant, wickedly mischievous, and you could tell they genuinely love what they do. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!"
