The Play That Goes Wrong is a fast-paced farce about an amateur theatre troupe attempting to stage a 1920s murder mystery—with disastrously hilarious results. From collapsing sets and missing props to forgotten lines and mistimed sound effects, everything that can go wrong does.
Directed by long-time MUDDS veterans, Sylvia Giles and Chris Jones, ticket holders are in for a treat! Audiences will enjoy the physical comedy, clever wordplay, surprise twists, and the sheer chaos of live theatre on the brink of disaster. This ‘play within a play’ is a joyful celebration of imperfection that keeps viewers laughing from the first accident to the final curtain.
No refunds or exchanges after May 2.
