London - The Play That Goes Wrong

Chaos, comedy, and calamity collide in the West End’s longest-running theatrical disaster.

Timing and schedule

Open hours

Approx. 2 hours and 5 minutes (incl. one interval)
The West End’s longest-running comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong, continues to delight audiences at the Duchess Theatre in its tenth chaotic year. 

  This award-winning international smash-hit takes the classic whodunnit formula—a murder at a country manor, an inspector on the case—and hands it to the accident-prone members of The Cornley Drama Society. The result? A hilariously disastrous attempt to stage the play, where everything that can go wrong… does! 

  From collapsing sets to misplaced lines, the cast and crew fight against all odds to make it to the final curtain call, with side-splitting consequences. 

  Packed with slapstick humour, theatrical mayhem, and non-stop laughs, this perfectly crafted slice of escapist comedy will leave you in stitches—though whether you’ll discover who really murdered Charles Haversham is a mystery only the show can reveal.
