The Play That Goes Wrong
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields
The Play That Goes Wrong is a play about a murder mystery. Throughout the play, many things go wrong. The corpses constantly moves, the props disappear, actors go missing, and the set itself begins to collapse, sometimes even on the cast themselves. The actors' performances supposedly get worse, and the collapsing set becomes dangerous. The play doesn’t just leave the question of whether the murder will be solved, but whether the play will make it to the final curtain call. The play has two acts, and its genres are comedy and farce.
