Watch as a murder-mystery show spirals into perfect chaos in The Play That Goes Wrong, an Olivier and Tony-winning farce from Mischief Theatre.

Theater name: New World Stages

    • This uproarious comedy play brings you the opening night of a 1920s murder-mystery by the accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society.

    • Created by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields of Mischief Theatre, the show has earned the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and the Tony Award for Best Scenic Design of a Play.

    • Expect Nigel Hook's collapsing sets, forgotten lines, a corpse that won’t play dead and actors who trip over everything, all under a visual chaos with expert timing.

    • From fringe beginnings above a London pub to global tours in 45+ countries, the production redefines backstage farce, now playing at the New World Stages. Book your tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong in New York now!

    The story

    It’s the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, mounted by the hapless Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society. The actors mean well, but everything that can go wrong does: the set falls apart, the leading lady collapses, cues vanish and props revolt. In The Play That Goes Wrong, you’ll be watching a play within a play, each misstep adding to the fun as chaos mounts and the question becomes: will they ever reach the final curtain?

    Critics reviews

    “Put your rational mind into sleep-mode, the better to savour tickling images of order-inverting bizarreness… the audience roared as loudly as the crowds at any wrestling match.”

    - The New York Times

    “The actors are very good at being bad and are so daring with the outrageous physical comedy that we often fear for their safety.”

    - Hollywood Reporter

    Great show - so funny. Cast did a brilliant job with all the slapstick and extra shoutout to the tech crew for managing the ever moving props and scenery. Definitely recommend!!!
