The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious comedy that follows the Cornley Drama Society's disastrous attempt to put on a 1920s murder mystery. With everything that can go wrong, it's a night of laughter and chaos as the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through their performance.
