The Play That Goes Wrong

Watching a professional company handle themselves when something goes wrong in a live performance is pretty amazing. So who's for a show where the whole premise is that everything goes pear-shaped? Continuously. The New York Times calls The Play That Goes Wrong “a gut-busting hit”, those folk at Olivier awarded it best new comedy, and it's selling out on Broadway. So maybe consider joining The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, an unfeasibly accident-prone bunch of thesps, as they attempt to put on a 1920s murder mystery. At the Hippodrome from March 27 to 31, even the trailer has us in Gervaisian pained laughter.Tickets are £16.50.
