About The Play That Goes Wrong
The Play That Goes Wrong is a live comedy production presented at New World Stages in New York City. The story follows an amateur company performing The Murder at Haversham Manor on opening night, as mishaps disrupt the mystery: the leading lady is unconscious, the corpse cannot stay still, and actors stumble over props and lines. The production combines physical comedy and a Sherlock Holmes-style murder mystery. It is an Olivier Award-winning comedy and has been described as a hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. The show is currently in performances at New World Stages. Its central appeal is the escalating stage chaos as the cast tries to continue the play despite everything going wrong.
