$5 Off Tix: The Olivier Award-Winning Comedy “The Play That Goes Wrong” at SF Playhouse (Sept. 21-Nov. 9)

Jessica Palopoli

This fast-paced farce packed with inventive theatricality finds the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society on opening night of its newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. As the incompetent theatre troupe attempts to stage this 1920s murder mystery, their production devolves into madcap mayhem. Lost props, forgotten lines, and poorly constructed scenery conspire against the clumsy cast, who fight for the show to make it to the final curtain call. The Play That Goes Wrong won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and was deemed “a gut-busting hit” by the New York Times.
