The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play
Following a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society and its sanctimonious Head of Drama embark on producing an ambitious 1920s murder mystery
Despite diligent preparation, in the final countdown to opening night, everything that can go wrong does go wrong
Hilarious disaster ensues as the cast crack under the pressure
Can they get the production back on track before the final curtain?
