Comedy by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields · Translated by Martin Riemann

During the premiere, a theater troupe bravely fights against all the shortcomings and dangers of unwritten theater laws and the force of gravity.

An amateur theater group invites you to the premiere of their new production "Murder at Haversham Castle" – described as a classic of English crime plays with all the necessary ingredients: a stately English estate, a murdered host, an unyielding detective – and some family members and staff, from whom theoretically anyone could have a motive to kill. But then everything that can go wrong goes wrong during the first performance: props disappear and reappear in the wrong place, entrances are missed, and pages of text whirl around chaotically, actors faint, colleagues are hidden in grandfather clocks, while the set creaks and wobbles ominously. With unwavering ambition, the increasingly desperate ensemble tries to keep their composure and save the premiere. Because: "The show must go on!" Nevertheless – gradually pure chaos breaks out: highly virtuoso and mercilessly funny.

"The Play That Goes Wrong" presents the funniest and fastest version of theater on theater, with behind-the-scenes insights that no audience should ever experience – and actually absolutely enjoys. And still in the beautifully tented theater!

"The Play That Goes Wrong" has won multiple awards since its world premiere in London, including the WhatsOnStage Award for "Best Comedy" in 2014 and the BroadwayWorld UK award for "Best New Play" and the Olivier Award for "Best New Comedy" in 2015.
