Show Information

The Play That Goes Wrong broadway brings razor-sharp farce and high-stakes physical comedy to the stage, built around a simple (and delightfully doomed) premise: a play within a play where every possible mistake happens in real time. The Play That Goes Wrong is an original comedy that first premiered in 2012 at London’s Old Red Lion Theatre. It’s written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, with original productions directed by Mark Bell and original music by Rob Falconer.

After its London beginnings, the production transferred to the Duchess Theatre in the West End in 2014, establishing itself as a long-running hit. In New York, it opened on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre (2017) and later continued with an Off-Broadway run at New World Stages. Today, it’s currently running Off-Broadway, and it’s also widely licensed—making it a favorite choice for regional and amateur productions around the world.

Recognition followed its success, including the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy (2015). Audiences know it for broad appeal and strong word-of-mouth—an expertly crafted slapstick farce where the humor escalates as the “disasters” pile up and the cast pushes forward no matter what.

Story Summary

A well-meaning amateur troupe—the Cornley University Drama Society—attempts to stage a classic murder mystery called The Murder at Haversham Manor. Their determined director/actor Chris Bean tries to hold everything together as missed cues, collapsing scenery, malfunctioning props, and growing chaos threaten to derail the performance.

What makes The Play That Goes Wrong so much fun is its precision-engineered “controlled chaos.” Doors, walls, and upper levels malfunction on cue; fights and falls are choreographed for maximum impact; and backstage-to-onstage transitions flip the action in hilarious ways—all while making the mayhem look dangerously spontaneous (and keeping it safely timed). The result is comedy born from catastrophe, with themes of perseverance under pressure, ego vs. teamwork, and the fragile thrill of live theater.
