The Play That Goes Wrong

Ferndale Repertory Theatre

The Play That Goes Wrong
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields

September 5 - 28 at Ferndale Repertory Theatre
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2PM

From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!

Why You’ll Love It
It’s won London’s Olivier Award, Broadway’s Tony Award, and the hearts of audiences worldwide — and now it’s finally coming to Ferndale! The Play That Goes Wrong is pure, laugh-out-loud chaos: props misbehave, sets fall apart, and the cast refuses to give up no matter how spectacularly things spiral out of control. It’s smart, silly, and side-splittingly funny — the kind of night at the theatre you’ll remember long after the lights come up.

Who Will Love This Show
- Comedy fans → If you enjoy Noises Off, Monty Python, or clever British farce, you’ll be laughing from start to finish.
- Theatre lovers → A love letter to live theatre’s beautiful chaos — complete with missed cues, collapsing sets, and an unshakable “show must go on” spirit.
- Families & groups → A high-energy, family-friendly night out (recommended for ages 10+; mild language and brief loud noises).
- Date nights & friend nights → Grab your favorite people and come ready to laugh — this is a “don’t overthink it, just have fun” kind of show.

Run Time: 2 hours plus a 15 minute intermission

Appropriate for ages 8+
