  • The hilarious multi award-winning disaster THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is the longest running comedy in the West End and continues to tickle audiences after 10 smashing years at the Duchess Theatre in London!

    You all know the classic whodunnit story, there has been a murder at a country manor and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this plot is given to the accident-prone thespians at The Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong… does!

    The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself!

    Hailed “a gut-busting hit” by the New York Times, Mischief’s THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is stumbling through its ninth chaotic year and has unexpectedly received a host of celebrity endorsements from the likes of Joanna Lumley “We laughed until the tears ran down our faces, it has to be seen” to Ant & Dec “The funniest show we’ve seen! If you can get a ticket, go!”.

    THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG won the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, as well as several other awards for the productions in the West End and on Broadway. It is also the Duchess Theatre's longest running play since the theatre opened in 1929.

    Experience total mayhem and enjoy the perfect slice of escapist comedy, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter.

    Don’t miss this brilliantly funny comedy, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter.
