A play within a play, "The Play That Goes Wrong" is everything its title implies-a play in which everything that possibly could go wrong, does! This long-running play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields centers on the Dr. Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to perform the 1920s play, "The Murder at Haversham Manor," while mishaps and disasters plague their production from the very start. "The Play That Goes Wrong" offers wacky characters, a unique Tony Award-winning set design and non-stop laughs.
