THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Written By HENRY LEWIS, JONATHAN SAYER & HENRY SHIELDS
JANUARY 24 – FEBRUARY 16, 2025
The Cornley Drama Society are putting on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong… does! The accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
This Olivier Award-winning comedy and Broadway smash hit is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “A RIOTOUS EXPLOSION OF COMEDY!” (The Daily Beast) and “TONS OF FUN FOR ALL AGES!” (HuffPost).
“A GUT-BUSTING HIT!”
