If you just want a good laugh, look no further than The Play That Goes Wrong, in which the inept Cornley Drama Society attempts to stage a 1920s murder mystery. It’s not as clever as Michael Frayn’s inspired Noises Off, but it’s fun. Co-written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields for Mischief Theatre Company, it’s now into its 10th year in London’s West End and has toured globally. Last seen in Australia in 2017, it’s back with a new cast. Reviewing it for Limelight, Jason Blake wrote it “turns the stuff of every stage actor’s nightmares (missing props, stuck doors, flubbed lines and the like) into a balletically precise 100 minutes of pratfalls and panic.

A hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes, things go from bad to utterly disastrous when The Cornley Drama Society performs a classic murder mystery. Complete with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “A RIOTOUS EXPLOSION OF COMEDY!” (The Daily Beast) and “TONS OF FUN FOR ALL AGES!” (HuffPost). The New York Times calls The Play That Goes Wrong “A GUT-BUSTING HIT”, and the New York Post has just one word for you: “GO!”
