The Play That Goes Wrong is a massive success. A huge hit with the critics, it’s won multiple awards, including an Olivier for best new comedy in 2015. The only way to see what the fuss is about is to see it yourself (more than a million people have already done so)!
What is The Play That Goes Wrong about? Without giving too much away, the play revolves around the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, who are staging a 1920s murder mystery, but as you might have guessed, just about anything that can go wrong, does go wrong.
Is it suitable for kids? Recommended for ages 8+, as younger kids may struggle to follow the humor.
Will teenagers enjoy it? Absolutely! Older kids and teenswill love the unpredictable silliness and slapstick humour as well as the word play and murder-mystery element. And if any parents have ever been involved in amateur dramatics, this may just strike chord with you.
Running time: Approx. 2 hours (including interval)
How much do tickets cost? Prices start from £22.
Fourth time of seeing this hilarious play and it still has me in stitches. Kids from 10 up will love the chaos of the performance and the silliness of the cast.
The play that does everything right by keeping the audience laughing throughout. Such a joyful night, great performances and a perfect play for all ages. Take your kids, take your granny, take anyone!
A fabulously daft and fun evening. Kids’ opinions:
“So hilarious, it just got funnier and funnier” – Lily (13)
“Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. They’re crazy!” – Tom (10)
Quite noisy with stage effects and shouting, but beautifully done and very funny. General opinion was 10/10.
