THE LONGEST RUNNING COMEDY IN THE WEST END

Still disrupting the West End in its 10th disastrous year, the award-winning international smash-hit THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG continues to tickle audiences at the Duchess Theatre.

You all know the classic whodunnit story, there has been a murder at a country manor and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this plot is given to the accident-prone thespians at The Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong... does!

The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself!

Experience total mayhem and enjoy the perfect slice of escapist comedy, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter.

Low class of jokes. Not intelligent humor ??

Robin

We thoroughly enjoyed this performance! Enthusiastic performers, hilarious show the whole family enjoyed. We decided last minute to see this show after passing the theater in a cab and saw the signs. Best decision!

Juliana Serrano

Had a blast!

Bevz

Really funny, silly slapstick. A comedy cartoon on the stage ??

Montserrat Hazel Garcia-Delgad

It was a good show, I thoroughly enjoyed it but my partner said that the first half was funny at times but he enjoyed the second half more.

Jason Oliff

This was the funniest show I've seen.

Lyn

A must for everyone to see. The play that goes wrong was brilliant. Haven't laughed so much for a long time.

anna moore

It was absolutely hilarious! I laughed so much that my make up came off and ran into my eyes and I still couldn’t stop!!

Andy Bolter

It's great fun before the curtain goes up, and hilarious the moment the curtain raises. I knew it would be funny, I wasn't expecting to laugh for the two hours it was on. The comedy timing was spot on and the pace was relentless. If you like a farce, then this is brilliant.

Michelle Oliva

It was absolutely hilarious!! Loved it!

Mae Spahr

Really fun and well-acted play!

Jodie M

One of the best comedies I have ever seen! My parents aren't normally theatre-goers, but they also agree that this show is brilliant, and said their ribs were sore from laughing. They were literally wiping the tears from their faces all the way through. The cast are amazing, with such fabulous on-stage chemistry and comedic timing, the theatre itself is lovely and the ushers and all team we met were amazing. I can't recommend highly enough!
