The Play That Goes Wrong

"The Play That Goes Wrong" to hit Portsmouth Abbey's stage Saturday, May 18

Welcome to the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, "The Murder at Haversham Manor," where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.

This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this comedy is guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!

"The Play That Goes Wrong" will be presented in the auditorium at Portsmouth Abbey School Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors (children 12 and under are free) and can be purchased at the door.

Portsmouth Abbey School is located at 285 Cory’s Lane in Portsmouth. For additional information, please contact Jay Bragan (Director of Performing Arts) at 683-2000 x218.
