Broadway’s funniest smash hit brings its ceaseless energy, madcap mayhem, and a plethora of disasters to the stage.
Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly catastrophic. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (even their lines), this 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a play. Nevertheless, the accident prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call. The perfect comic cure-all, this play within a play is sure to bring down the house.
Global phenomenon The Play That Goes Wrong will have you rolling in the aisles at this hilarious production the cast will never forget… even if they wish they could.
Presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service under license from Mischief Worldwide Ltd. The Mischief Production of The Play That Goes Wrong was originally produced on the West End Stage by Kenny Wax & Stage Presence and on Broadway by Kevin McCollum, J.J. Abrams, Kenny Wax & Stage Presence
