The Play That Goes Wrong

The Play That Goes Wrong

The Play That Goes Wrong is “comic gold” (Variety), winning awards around the world, including the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy plus a Tony Award for Best Scenic Design. A 1920s whodunit, The Play That Goes Wrong has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). These accident-prone characters battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! “You’ll never have a better time in a theater!” (Forbes). Features students from JMU’s School of Theatre and Dance. Presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service under license from Mischief Worldwide Ltd. Recommended for 8 and above. The Mischief Production of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG was originally produced on the West End Stage by Kenny Wax & Stage Presence and on Broadway by Kevin McCollum, J.J. Abrams, Kenny Wax & Stage Presence.
