1812 Productions presents The Play That Goes Wrong, a farcical murder mystery that plunges into the misadventures of the accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to stage a 1920s thriller. Featuring a talented cast including Melanie Cotton, Scott Greer, Justin Jain, Anthony Lawton, Ian Merrill Peakes, and Karen Peakes, this comedy showcases a series of hilarious mishaps that arise when the cast struggles to keep their production on track. Directed by Jennifer Childs, the show returns following a record-breaking run in 2023, capturing the chaos and laughter that ensues in live theatre.
