The longest running comedy in London, the smash-hit Olivier and Tony-Award-winning, The Play That Goes Wrong, returns to Auckland.

A hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes, things go from bad to utterly disastrous when The Cornley Drama Society performs a classic murder mystery. Complete with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “A Riotous Explosion of Comedy” (The Daily Beast) and “Tons of fun for all ages” (HuffPost). The New York Times calls The Play That Goes Wrong “A gut-busting hit”, and the New York Post has just one word for you: “Go” 

Celebrating its 10th Anniversary Tour, experience total mayhem and comic hijinks at The Play That Goes Wrong, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter. Book tickets now – it would be wrong to wait!
