ABOUT "THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG" and MISCHIEF
"The Play That Goes Wrong" - From Mischief, London West End's and Broadway's masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society's newest production,a??"The Murder at Haversham Manor", where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunnit 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). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
