Following its recent run at the Old Red Lion theatre, it has been announced that The Play That Goes Wrong will transfer to Trafalgar Studios 2, running from Tuesday 30th April 2013 until Saturday 18th May 2013.
Focusing on the many trials and tribulations of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, the play tells the story of the company’s staging of 1920’s murder mystery Murder at Haversham Manor. Chris the arrogant head of the drama society has directed the piece and cast himself as the dynamic Inspector, while desperate wannabe actress Sandra and the genuinely doting Max struggle opposite each other as the romantic interests and actor Dennis still can’t pronounce “façade”. An hour of delicately timed disaster ensues; actors get knocked out, the play gets stuck on a loop and the set starts to disintegrate.
West End Frame's Deborah Hargreaves recently saw the show during its run at the Old Red Lion Theatre. Writing in her review she said "The Play That Goes Wrong certainly does go wrong, in the most comical and excellent way. The cast are very slick and on the ball at all times, keeping the audience at ease during such a surprising piece of theatre. The roars of laughter from the audience certainly reflected the energy the cast were giving off and the atmosphere was electric for the full hour." Click here to read the full review.

So excited about this transfer news! A friend saw the show but the run was so short so I didn't have time to go!!
