The Goes Wrong Show is a hilarious comedy play that is guaranteed to leave you in fits of laughter. Starring Henry Shields, Bryony Corrigan, and Charlie Russell, the show is a masterpiece in physical comedy and slapstick humor. The show was first performed in London's West End in 2015 and has since gone on to enjoy universal acclaim and critical success. The show sees the fictional amateur dramatic society, the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, attempting to put on a production of a murder mystery play called "The Murder at Haversham Manor". However, things quickly start to go wrong from the opening scene, and everything that could go wrong does go wrong. Props are misplaced, lines are forgotten, actors miss cues and entrances, and the show descends into total chaos. The Goes Wrong Show is wonderfully clever in its execution, as the actors embrace the unexpected and unscripted incidents that happen onstage, making it look as though the show is spiraling out of control. The brilliant comic timing and physical comedy of the actors on stage is truly admirable, and the set design plays a supporting role in elevating the humor to new heights. The show cleverly uses a variety of tricks to create its comedic moments, such as actors forgetting lines and improvising, getting stuck in doors, falling over, dropping props, and breaking the set. Every member of the production team works effortlessly to create the perfect illusion of chaos, and the audience is left in awe of the amount of work that must have gone into making everything look so perfectly wrong. The Goes Wrong Show is a show that you simply must see to believe. Each performance is slightly different, as the actors react to the incidents that happen on stage in real-time, creating a unique experience every time. The play is suitable for all ages, and the humor will have both children and adults roaring with laughter. Overall, The Goes Wrong Show is a must-see theatrical masterpiece that perfectly showcases the brilliance of physical comedy and the power of slapstick humor. Starring a talented cast who are dedicated to creating the perfect illusion of chaos, the show is guaranteed to leave you gasping for breath and wiping away tears of laughter. If you're looking for a night of hilarity and uncontrollable laughter, The Goes Wrong Show should be at the top of your list.
