CCP’s “THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG!”

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse… “The Play That Goes Wrong” will be hitting the CCP stage in April 2022!

Capital City Productions is beyond excited to have been awarded the first rights to perform this Broadway Smash Hit Catastrophe in April 2022!!

The Cornley Drama Society are putting on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong… does!

The Play That Goes Wrong begins before the curtain has even been raised, as the audience are present while the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society prepare to stage their new production – the 1920s murder mystery ‘Murder at Haversham Manor’.

However the set is not yet complete and there is no time to finish it off…..the show must go on!

With a murder (and a moving corpse) established from the beginning, the murder mystery gets into full flow.

However, the props start to disappear, actors go missing and the set begins to collapse around, and often on, the cast.

Mayhem ensues, the acting gets worse, and the set becomes increasingly dangerous, but the company struggle on regardless.

The question is whether any of the accident-prone cast and crew will remain standing, or conscious, as they battle against all odds to make it through to their final final curtain, with hilarious consequences!?!

Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
