The play within a play is the classic murder mystery story we all know and love. There has been an untimely death at a country manor, everyone is a suspect, and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this play is performed by the accident-prone thespians of The Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong…does! The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
This play is the brainchild of UK improv and comedy theatre company – Mischief, the creators of the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit “The Play That Goes Wrong”… this is the original one-act play which started everything going wrong. Over the course of 75-minutes, expect a plethora of disasters from missed lines to falling props. Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself! “The One-Act Play that Goes Wrong” is directed by LCP founding member Ann Savides Dolan, with costuming by Michael Walter, sound design by Tom Nicolai, and set design by Stuart Harper.
