About the Show

This Tony Award winning farce portrays the doomed opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor.

The thespian troupe of Cornley University is putting on a production of The Murder at Haversham Manor, but they could use a few more weeks of rehearsals. From dropped lines to dropped set pieces, by the end everything (and everyone) will drop at least once in this hit farce.

'The Play That Goes Wrong' by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields premiered in London in 2012 and won an Olivier for Best New Comedy. It opened on Broadway in 2017 where it played until 2019 before transferring Off-Broadway to New World Stages.

The play is notable for its intricate scenic design by Nigel Hook, which won a Tony.
