The Play That Goes Wrong

The Arts Club Theatre Company production of The Play That Goes Wrong runs June 18—August 16 at the Lindsay Family Stage at Granville Island. Josh Epstein directs this chaotic comedy that will have you howling with laughter long after the final curtain.

The Play That Goes Wrong brings you into the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. After months of preparation, surely everything will go to plan, right? Wrong! Things quickly go from bad to utterly disastrous with these accident-prone thespians. Props fail and cues are missed, but the cast pushes through to deliver this 1920s whodunit, featuring actors who trip over everything (including their lines), an unconscious leading lady, and a corpse that can’t play dead. Part Agatha Christie and part Monty Python, this Olivier Award–winning comedy has fans around the world begging for more.

In September 2023, the Arts Club produced Peter Pan Goes Wrong written by Lewis, Sayer and Shields and audiences loved the chaotic humour and mishaps that made it such a hit at the Stanley. The Play That Goes Wrong also offers uproarious fun and brings even more laughs, absurd situations, and theatrical mayhem as the play unfolds.
