The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are putting on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong… does! As the accident prone thesps battle on against all the odds to reach their final curtain call, hilarious results ensue! Read more …
It really is impossible not to love what Mischief Theatre have created here. The Play That Goes Wrong is sure to entertain even the most discerning theatre goer, and whilst we may laugh at the joyous calamity that enfolds in front of us, it is without a doubt that there is a right way of doing things wrong.
This talented cast of performers are safe hands for Mischief Theatre’s most famous work. It’s rather meta yet a highly easy concept to grasp. Hard not to laugh and impossible not to appreciate the ability of making it all go wrong with ease.
Mystery and malfunction, with impressive, choreographed set failures by Nigel Hook, complete with a motley crew of amateur theatrics makes for an evening that will make you sit up in your seat with the giggles.
It’s not an intellectual piece, but it’s undoubtedly one of the cleverest shows you’ll see all year.
Deliriously silly and giddy, certainly one to set the Morningside aunts all a frothy. You will definitely never go to see a play like this again. Grief encounters of the gut-busting kind. Perilously recommended.
