Description

from The Play That Goes Wrong
The time is right to see The Play That Goes Wrong, Broadway’s funniest and longest-running play!

Welcome to the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), come see why Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls The Play That Goes Wrong “A gut-busting hit!”

This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. It’s “a riotous explosion of comedy!” (The Daily Beast) and “tons of fun for all ages!” (HuffPost). Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “Go!” Get tickets now; it would be WRONG to wait!

Duration:
Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, including intermission

Audience:
Recommended for ages 8+
