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. From falling sets and missed cues to actors getting knocked unconscious, this play-within-a-play is a delightful disaster that will have you laughing from start to finish.
