The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious comedy that follows the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society's attempt to put on a 1920s murder mystery. As the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through their disastrous performance, everything that can go wrong does, with side-splitting results.
