The Play That Goes Wrong, the West End’s Olivier Award winning box office hit, comes to Milton Keynes Theatre from Monday (March 13).
Co-written by Mischief Theatre company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong is a highly physical comedy packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton inspired slapstick delivered with split-second timing and ambitious daring.
The play introduces The ‘Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’ who are attempting to put on a 1920s’ murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong… does, as the accident prone thespians battle on against all the odds to get to their final curtain call.

The Play That Goes Wrong bagged the 2014 Whatsonstage.com Award for Best New Comedy, the 2015 Broadway World UK Award for Best New Play and the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and iis now enjoying its third year in the West End, where it continues to play to sold-out houses.
Its Broadway debut is imminent too, with the original cast opening at the Lyceum Theatre in New York on 2 April 2017.
It is a remarkable rags-to-riches story for a play, which started its life at a London fringe venue with only four paying members of the public at the first performance and has since played to an audience of over half a million.
Performances are nightly at 7.30pm, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30pm.
