Single Events
THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is a hilarious, fast-paced play that offers entertainment for everyone! This brilliant piece of theatre blends farce and physical comedy with a good old murder mystery. It’s like Agatha Christie meets Monty Python.
The story takes place on the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor – a 1920s large cast murder mystery play, similar to The Mousetrap. Unfortunately for the cast, but to the delight of audiences, the Cornley Drama Society is renowned for overestimating their abilities and for enduring mishaps during their productions, and we soon find out this performance is no different.
If you’re looking for a fun night out this summer for friends, family, out-of-towners, a date, or just for yourself, look no further than THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG on Granville Island. Or, as we’re calling it, Granville Island Goes Wrong. Recommended for ages 8+.
This award-winning play was written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields of Misc…
