The Play That Goes Wrong


If you thought BP had occasional hiccups, what with missing scenery and cramped halls, lost lines, wrestling with the set and misplaced props count yourselves lucky. The fictional Cornley Polytechnic's play "Murder at Haversham Hall" could not have had more things go wrong. Even before curtain up one poor little crew member had to call on an audience member to hold a bit of set so she could fix it with masking tape.
Mischief Theatre Company's "The Play That Goes Wrong" at The Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton was a play of non stop laughter, the farce ratcheting up disaster on disaster; some I could see coming, others came out of the blue. Excellent writing underpinned superb acting. What a great way to blow away the blues.

Next BP theatre outing is Henry IV Part I on Wednesday 14th May at 18.55 at the Reel Majestic cinema in Bridgnorth. Check out other live showings there too.
