GROUP DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR PARTIES 10+! LEARN MORE.
Five amateur actors. A semi-adaptable stage manager. A missing canine. One play that goes very, very WRONG. Comprised of a spiraling series of increasingly absurd mishaps, this whodunit is a certified trainwreck guaranteed to deliver non-stop laughter until the curtains fall. You’ll be thinking, “It can’t possibly get any worse than this... can it?” And the answer is yes, it can.
This Olivier Award-winning comedy offers a hilarious glimpse into the absolute worst-case scenarios that can unfold in the world of theatre. Premiering in 2012 in the UK, it went on to run over 745 performances on Broadway. Helmed by former Grand Theatre Artistic Director Dennis Garnhum, the production will now make its way to the Grand Theatre in London.
"Huffington Post calls this show 'The funniest play Broadway has ever seen!' Directed by former Grand Artistic Director Dennis Garnhum – who recently brought the hilarious play Clue to our stage – this comedy about a murder mystery going terribly wrong is full of delight, stagecraft (gone wrong), and so much fun!"
- Rachel Peake, Artistic Director of the Grand Theatre
