It's hard enough for actors to remember their lines for a play and hope that everything goes well; here, going well means everything going badly. Actors have to initiate and control chaos, defy gravity, and sustain some Chaplinesque physical comedy. Imagine an Agatha Christie murder mystery blended with Frank Spencer, Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em mishaps...on steroids.

This play definitely goes wrong. Exceptional theatre-effects and brilliant mis-acted scenes make it a wonderful disaster. No wonder this play has been playing in theatres for so long. Everyone should see it! If this doesn't get you laughing out loud, nothing will. Seriously brilliant!

Fantastiskt rolig och välspelad. Vilken tajming mellan skådespelarna att hela scenen skulle falla samman kom som en total överraskning och ett fantastiskt avslut. Rekommenderas varmt.🤣🤣🤣

Before the show starts the scene is set, the acting is amazing(ly bad). Even though it's a play there is quite a bit of audience engagement and interacting. Very funny and you can see and feel the love and work it takes to make an enjoyable play

Thoroughly enjoyed the play and the entire experience. We were all laughing out loud throughout the play. Many cafes in the immediate area, easy access to taxis. Completely recommend you take advantage of this experience.

The story

There’s been a murder at a country estate, and Inspector Carter is on the case. But with the Cornley Drama Society in charge, solving the crime is the least of their worries. Props malfunction, doors won’t open, actors miss cues, and one even gets stuck in a grandfather clock. The cast desperately tries to hold the show together through all the chaos, resulting in relentless, side-splitting comedy. Will they make it to the curtain call? Probably. Will anything else survive?

Critics reviews

“A great-looking, brilliantly performed piece.”

– Sunday Telegraph

“Deliriously funny.”

– The Stage
