The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious comedy that follows the Cornley Drama Society's attempt to put on a 1920s murder mystery, but everything that can go wrong does. Audiences will be in stitches as they watch the hapless thespians battle against all odds to make it through their disastrous performance.
