Everything goes right in terms of comedy with this West End hit which is currently having a very successful return season at the Ros Packer theatre.

The play is a spoof on a very amateur, fictional Drama Society. The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society  put on a murder mystery entitled  The Murder Of Haversham Manor  which turns into a disaster; the murdered corpse comes alive, the actors constantly bungle, stagehands walk in and out and take part in the action indiscriminately, parts of the set collapse or combust. Have you got the idea?!

On  the night that I went the cast played to a full house that was constantly erupting in laughter. What a buzz that must have been for the excellent local cast to draw from that energy.

My pick of the cast  :- Nick-Simpson Deers is great as the earnest, frustrated Detective. Adam Dunn  was a lot of fun as the lighting and sound operator whose bio box was situated in the dress circle, Dennis Tyde as the frazzled butler and Brooke Satchwell as  the volatile, sexy Sandra.

If you need a really good laugh I can’t recommend this play enough. This is comic mayhem at its best. THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, written by Henry Lewis, Jonathon Sayer and Henry Shields and directed by Mark Bell,is playing until May 21.
