Good evening. I'm Inspector Carter. Take my case. This must be Charles
Haversham! I'm sorry, this must've given you all a damn shock.
After benefitting from a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and
accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on producing an
ambitious 1920s murder mystery. They are delighted that neither casting
issues nor technical hitches currently stand in their way. However,
hilarious disaster ensues and the cast start to crack under the
pressure, but can they get the production back on track before the final
curtain falls?
The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a
play, conceived and performed by award-winning company Theatre Mischief.
It was first published as a one-act play and is published in this new
edition as a two-act play.
