What did our critic think of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at PCPA: Solvang Festival Theater?
by Anna Jensen - Jul 18, 2024

The Play That Goes Wrong is a side-splittingly funny production not to be missed. The laughs begin as you enter the theater and last to the final bows. It’s a play that goes wrong by design, of course, and then goes more wrong in service of our amusement as the Cornley Drama Society puts on the murder mystery The Murder at Haversham Manor.

BWW Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at Florida Studio Theatre is Comedic Perfection
by Jacob Ruscoe - Mar 6, 2022

By nature, musicals are vastly more popular than plays. They have a natural ability to engage an audience and if there are any lulls in the action, you have a high-flying musical number to bring the show back to life. A play has no safety nets.

by Aaron Wallace - Dec 9, 2019

...but it's the humanity underpinning the comedy that really surprised me. The a?oestudentsa?? are so earnest in their efforts. It's their Muppet-ish instinct to make the best of a bad mistake under a spotlight that makes the show so relatable. Aren't we all just trying to do our best as the set pieces of our lives malfunction all around us?
