THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG (High School Edition)

by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields

About the Show

The Play That Goes Wrong (High School Edition) follows the eager members of the Cornley Drama Society as they attempt to stage a murder mystery where absolutely nothing goes according to plan. Set pieces fall, props vanish, lines get tangled, and the cast desperately tries to keep the show alive. It is high energy, full of physical comedy, and built for a strong ensemble.  Open to students ages 13+.

Physical Comedy Note

Some roles include falls, carries, holds, or other movement. Actors will be asked to share their comfort level.
