STAND by a for a night of theatrical comedy chaos.

Heading for Malvern’s Festival Theatre for a one week run from Monday, August 13 through to Saturday, August 18, is the multi-award winning comedy from the West End - The Play That Goes Wrong.

The Olivier Award winning box office hit is returning to the county with what is sure to be another calamitous week of frenzied fun as the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society put on a 1920s murder-mystery!

Co-written by Mischief Theatre company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong is a highly physical comedy packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton inspired slapstick delivered with split-second timing and ambitious daring.

The play introduces the Poly’s drama society’ who find that everything that can go wrong… does, as the accident prone thespians battle on against all the odds to get to their final curtain call.

The 2018 UK touring cast includes Jake Curran (Chris), Catherine Dryden (Annie), Bobby Hirston (Max), Benjamin McMahon (Dennis), Gabriel Paul (Trevor), Steven Rostance (Jonathan), Kazeem Tosin Amore (Robert) and Elena Valentine (Sandra).

Winning eleven international awards, including the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a 2017 Tony Award for its Broadway transfer, The Play That Goes Wrong continues to play to sold out houses in the West End, whilst enjoying its new status as Broadway’s longest running play.

It is a remarkable rags-to-riches story for a play, which started its life at a London fringe venue with only four paying members of the public at the first performance, and has since played to an audience of almost one and a half million worldwide.

Mischief Theatre was founded in 2008 by a group of graduates of The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and began as an improvised comedy group.

Their other production The Comedy About A Bank Robbery is now booking into its third year in the West End at the Criterion Theatre and their new improv show Mischief Movie Night opened in the West End at the Arts Theatre. In December 2016.

Mischief made their TV debut on the BBC with Peter Pan Goes Wrong, starring David Suchet as the guest narrator. Peter Pan Goes Wrong (Olivier Award Nominee 2016) also enjoyed two sell-out West End seasons and a UK tour.
