A hilarious comedy by Mischief Theatre (Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields) about an amateur drama society’s disastrous attempt at a 1920s murder mystery. Featuring physical comedy, malfunctioning sets, and actors breaking character, the show became a runaway hit from London’s Old Red Lion Theatre to Broadway and won a Tony Award for Scenic Design.
Of the hundreds of shows I've seen over the years I can say with absolute certainty, and this can be verified by my family that came as well, that was absolutely, positively, and without a shred of doubt one of them.
LOVED IT! well done! cast was excellent, execution was superb! love the play within a play aspect. had a fun time.
Arena Theatre's production of The Play That Goes Wrong was absolutely exceptional - hilarious, great cast and stage production. I loved the atmosphere of the play, and the energy of the cast members. It was a unique and memorable performance that reaffirms the beauty and need for human creation.
A very enjoyable afternoon. So glad water was available cuz i laughed so much and so long that my throat got dry. This was the kind of play that if someone goofed a line, they just put on a deadpan face and then say what was correct and keep on going!
This was easily one of the funniest plays I've seen. Overall, an outstanding experience.
It's the second Arena production I've seen and both were excellent. Even though I live two counties away, I plan to return for many more.
The Arena Fair cast certainly outdid theirselves this time. It was one laugh after another and you were almost on the edge of your seat wondering what could go wrong next.
By far one of the best productions they have ever presented. Looking forward to the next show.
Very funny and entertaining
The script of this play was obviously humorous, but the incredibly talented actors and ingenious set design made it absolutely HILARIOUS! Well done to all of the performers, set designers, backstage crew, and lighting/sound technicians.
First time at this venue. Enjoyed the show.
It was a very fun show! We had a great time!
