The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious comedy that follows the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to put on a 1920s murder mystery, but everything that can go wrong does go wrong. With slapstick humor, mistaken identities, and a set that seems to have a mind of its own, this show promises a night of laughter and chaos.
