The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are putting on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong... does! The accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Given five stars by The Daily Mail, called a "gut-busting hit" by The New York Times, and with celebrity endorsements from the likes of Ant and Dec as the "funniest show we've seen! If you can get a ticket go", what are you waiting for?

Now stumbling through its sixth catastrophic year, THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
