Murder, Mayhem, Disaster and Laughter abound in the Colonel Town Players upcoming farcical comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, presented over two weekends at the Lancaster NH, Town Hall
Imagine it’s opening night of a new whodunit mystery and everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, really wrong. Falling props, collapsing scenery, an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything, including their lines, results in an outrageous production.
Join the Colonel Town Players for this laugh-out-loud play within a play, The Play That Goes Wrong, and follow the misadventures of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest presentation, “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” This Olivier Award-winning comedy is presented live on stage at the Lancaster Town Hall over the course of two weekends beginning Friday, May 16 and closing Sunday, May 25.
It’s an accident-prone battle against all odds to make it through to these actors’ final curtain call. With non-stop slapstick unleashed, this side-splitting comedy is a hilarious, catastrophic masterclass in theatrical chaos. Come see what audiences across the globe have called “the ultimate comedy disaster.”
Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong features Jon Quay as Chris, Owen Fogg as Robert, Meghan Hakey as Dennis, Ed Conley as Jonathan, Ben Waterman as Max, Ellen Endres as Trevor, Crystal Knapp as Sandra, and Chelsi McMahan as Annie. The cast is rounded out by members of the Cornley Drama Society Stage Crew who found themselves flung on stage and into the mayhem instead of behind the scenes.
Directed by Colonel Town Players veteran John Ayers, The Play That Goes Wrong, is sure to delight audiences and provide some much needed laughs.
