The Play That Goes Wrong (23)
The Play That Goes Wrong
Welcome to the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.
With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), everything that can go wrong does go wrong during this 1920s murder mystery play. Will these accident-prone performers beat the odds and make it to their final curtain call? Find out with this Olivier Award-winning comedy.
