The Play That Goes Wrong — Review

By Jude

It was a pleasure to be invited to the Media Night of the 11th West End cast of The Murder at Haversham Manor — sorry, I mean The Play That Goes Wrong — at the Duchess Theatre. The Play That Goes Wrong is, quite simply, a play that goes wrong. Brilliantly, magnificently, catastrophically wrong.

Mischief Theatre's landmark comedy has now been running in the West End for over a decade, and this new cast brings tremendous freshness to material that remains irresistibly funny. The physical comedy is executed with extraordinary precision — every pratfall, every collapsing set piece, every missed cue is timed to within a millisecond.

Undimmed by age. A West End institution.
