The Play That Goes Wrong Chicago Tickets

Written by three members of the Mischief Theatre Company that is based in West London,

The Play That Goes Wrong

is a comedy about a fictitious theater production group called the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society. The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempts to put on a stage production about a murder mystery that took place in the 1920s. This setting creates the possibility for comedy where the actors are acting in a play within a play. Unfortunately, for this theater group, everything that could go wrong for their murder mystery production does go wrong in a rather spectacular fashion. As a climatic highlight of the show, the very stage set seems to have been built up to become a live antagonist of the production. Comedy then ensues as the theater group desperately and bravely tries to save the night and carry the production forward.
