The Play That Goes Wrong tickets

The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are putting on a highly polished, award-winning theatre production that they have honed, to perfection, with a fine tooth comb…Yeah, right! It is nothing but one unmitigated disaster after another: poorly designed sets, messed up lines, misplaced props, impromptu understudies; ostensibly it’s full on chaos and mayhem from beginning to end. (The biggest disappointment, for me, was that Tom Cruise was not performing). Mischief Theatre, the brains behind this show, are truly everything that Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are not. The absolute genius, and comic timing from the cast is sublime, and worth every rib-splitting ache from the constant laughter. The bar is set high, the pace is set fast, and there’s no letting up for you to breath; so it’s best just to surrender to those happy tears. This is definitely a show I could watch over and over until such times that Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society give a faultless performance, then I shall just listen to Duran Duran CDs instead. Each and every member of the cast was thoroughly deserving of the thunderous, and never-ending ovation they received.

A fantastic show with many laughs and silliness. Even before the show starts some cast members are scurrying around and interacting with the audience. A must see show. Highly recommended for a great night out

Don't wear mascara! The show practically starts before the doors open, so get there early so you don't miss out. My face ached 15 minutes in and tears ran down my face foe the entire performance. Hilarious!

AMAZING! This show is a masterpiece and entertained the hell out of me. The set is so cleverly designed that although ‘Goes Wrong’ is in the name you are genuinely surprised and shocked when something does happen. This is also down to the fantastic actors who do some try incredible things during this show that stunned us. This show made me laugh more than I ever have at a show and went far beyond my expectations. All in all, a phenomenal show that took my breath away (with laughter and surprise). Can’t wait to see what Mischief Theatre do next!!

There were, as the reviews say, some people crying with laughter. For me it was more like snorts of amusement, but then I'm not the demonstrative type. Great performances and great chaos. I have to add though, that while bag checks happen everywhere, this was the first time I was actually frisked on the way in! Luckily, they didn't find my camera.
