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!

Hilarious from start to finish
"We expected a comedy after reading a little about the show but I didn’t expect to laugh from start to finish. I wish I could watch it again for the first time!"

Hilarious must-see!
"This play keeps you laughing throughout, while the very talented cast (and set designers) blunder their way through solving a murder. The cast adds humour to the show with impromptu interactions with the audience. Enjoyed the whole play and talented cast!"

Non stop laughs
"If you are a fan of madcap comedy this is a play for you. This was my second time seeing it on Broadway plus I saw a regional production of it last year. It is non stop silliness and the actors never make it feel anything but fresh. There were children in front of me in this performance and they totally loved it as did my 40 year old daughter and I. A play for all ages. "

The RIGHT show to see.
"From the moment you took your seat, there was chatter from other patrons around me whispering how "funny" this show was. The non stop connection with the audience, the comfort the actors had in their role as they connected with each line and written scene was immensely incredible and hysterical. I haven't bellie laughed in a long time. This ensemble was beyond my expectations. A true team of wonderful actors doing what they love and sharing that with us. A perfect night"

Funny, even after 5 times!
"Yes, this was our 5th time to see this play in the last 14 years we’ve been coming to NYC (actually one of the times was in Orlando or Chicago? We travel a lot. LOL!). Lots of physical comedy, no music, and so many comedy nuances to laugh at. Bottom line, we laughed hard and I’ll bet we see it again."

Funny
"Very funny. Even when one had come to expect certain jokes, ones that had already been seen at various points in the play, they were funny again when a slightly different version was presented, sort of like Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther series."

Hillarious
"The actors were marvellous with both their verbal and physical comedy. The play was fast moving and they involved the audience. I haven’t laughed that hard during a play since I saw Noise is Off years ago."

This Play is Pure Fun
"This play was well done, was an absolute riot and our gang enjoyed it immensely. The actors/actresses were perfect for their parts. They were completely convincing when inhabiting their characters, and when going off script!"

Needed a good laugh and this delivered!
"I wasn’t really sure what to expect given the size and layout of the theater but this show had me laughing out loud the whole two hours! The physical comedy was outstanding. Had only participated in a couple of plays in high school/college but good god this show nailed the experience!! Highly recommend for ages 14 and up"

You Can't Go Wrong!!
"We weren't sure what to expect, we had just heard that it was funny! The actors were amazing, perfect comedic timing, playing to the audience. Don't want to give away the plot.....but the entire audience, from the teen-ager next to me to the "older" folks were laughing the entire time!! Younger kids will enjoy the physical comedy while the adults will appreciate the subtleties. You Can't Go Wrong!! "

"I honestly don't think I've ever heard my daughter laugh so hard! And the unbelievable skill it must have taken to make everything fall apart so perfectly is impressive!"
