The Play That Goes Wrong

By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields
J.W. Morrissette and Aaron Muñoz, directors
The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, appearing through the generous support of special arts grants and artists exchanges has come all the way from the United Kingdom to perform their production of the single most riveting murder/mystery play ever crafted for the stage: The Murder at Haversham Manor. As the murder/mystery play progresses, this unlikely (and unlucky) endeavor begins to quite literally fall apart as technical mishaps, theatrical missteps, and mischief bring down the house in one of the funniest play-within-a-play productions ever to gloriously fail in full view of any audience.

To quote Scott, a random person on the internet, "My side hurt from laughing! This was a comedy masterpiece!" And Paul J. another random person from the Internet, "Funny, funny and even more funny!"
