Good evening. I'm Inspector Carter. Take my case. This must be Charles Haversham! I'm sorry, this must've given you all a damn shock.

After benefitting from a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on producing an ambitious 1920s murder mystery. They are delighted that neither casting issues nor technical hitches currently stand in their way. However, hilarious disaster ensues and the cast start to crack under the pressure, but can they get the production back on track before the final curtain falls?

The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play, conceived and performed by award-winning company Theatre Mischief. It was first published as a one-act play and is published in this new edition as a two-act play.

Title: A riot and three-quarters!
Review: Saw it in London and never stopped laughing from the moment it started to the end! Really incredibly funny, entertaining, riot, where you know the actors are having as much fun performing (if not more!) as you are as the audience!

Title: What Did I Miss?
Review: We went and saw this play and it was hysterical. Action was constant, and I knew I missed some of the lines, so purchased the script.

Title: Very funny and a entertaining play!
Review: I’d seen the show on Broadway. Loved to read the original script. I bought it just for myself personally. I do local theatre, and maybe there will be a local production done at some time.

Title: So much fun!
Review: I saw the live play and laughed the whole time. I wanted to read the script which follows the play perfectly. The play went by so fast, that I missed some of the action, but when I read the script it made me laugh again. If you ever get a chance to see the live play, which I believe is touring now, don't miss the opportunity.

Review: I saw this performed almost 2 years ago and I've never laughed so much in my life. This book is the next best thing. Great stage directions. You can almost hear the panic leap out of the pages.

Review: 5 stars because the book itself is great, this is purely amazons fault. Bought the book new, paid full price for it and came covered in muck that I had to clean off, and with the spines very clearly creased showing it had been read many times before. Contents of the book are fantastic though!
