The Play That Goes Wrong play follows the misadventures of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society. The amateur theatre troupe get together once a year to stage a show, and this time it’s the mystery play Murder at Haversham Manor.
As the play begins, the cast are already facing a losing battle: forgotten lines, faulty props, and broken scenery make it challenging to put on a show. But then things go from bad to worse: misunderstandings, fires, and collapsing set make it almost impossible. Can the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society defeat the odds? Or will it all go wrong?
