About the show
Mischief Theatre's award-winning farce in which everything that can collapse on the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society's amateur whodunit, does.
The Play That Goes Wrong is Mischief Theatre's calling card and has been at the Duchess since 2014. The premise: a fictional amateur company tries to put on a murder mystery, and every set piece, prop and entrance betrays them. Underneath the slapstick is a genuinely well-engineered farce - the set is the joke as much as anything the actors do. Running time is approximately two hours and ten minutes with an interval. Family-friendly from about age eight.
