The Play That Goes Wrong: A Perfect Disaster of Comedy
Described as a side-splitting blend of Fawlty Towers and Noises Off, The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre is a smash-hit farce that will leave you in stitches. Follow the hapless members of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to stage a 1920s murder mystery—where everything that can go wrong spectacularly does! With chaos at every turn, this riotous show is a laugh-a-minute adventure filled with collapsing sets, malfunctioning props, forgotten lines, and actors stuck in the most improbable situations.
Non-Stop Laughter and Surprises
From floors giving way to actors trapped inside grandfather clocks, this theatrical disaster is an unmissable comedy of errors. Props misfire, doors refuse to cooperate, and every effort to salvage the show only leads to more hysterical mishaps. Book your tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong and prepare for an evening of relentless humor that will have you crying with laughter.
A West End Comedy Phenomenon
Since its debut at the Old Red Lion Theatre in 2012, The Play That Goes Wrong has captured hearts worldwide. It transferred to the Duchess Theatre in 2014, becoming the venue's longest-running show since 1929 and embarking on five UK tours. Written under the guise of fictional playwright Susie H.K. Brideswell, The Murder at Haversham Manor spirals into theatrical disaster as cast and crew struggle—and fail—to keep the production afloat.
Winner of the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong remains one of the West End’s longest-running and most beloved comedies. Book now and brace yourself for a rollercoaster of calamity and comedy.
