“A Riotous Explosion of Comedy!”

The Daily Beast

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.
