The Play That Goes Wrong

Pieter Toerien presents the Funniest Comedy Ever on Stage!

In the words of Pieter Toerien – “The Play that Goes Wrong is the Funniest play I have ever seen!”

Joanna Lumley came out a recent London performance and said: “We laughed until the tears ran down our faces! It has to be seen!!!”

What’s on Stage said “It’s as though The Mousetrap has been taken over by Monty Python!”

Described by theatre audiences as Fawlty Towers meets Noises Off – this new hit comedy has won every major award on the London stage – 2015 Olivier Award Winner for Best New Comedy/ 2015 BroadwayWorld UK Winner for Best New Play/ 2014 WhatsOnStage Award Winner for Best New Comedy! The South African production will be directed by Alan Committie and features an awesome comedy cast including Robert Fridjhon, Russel Savadier, Craig Jackson, Roberto Pombo, Nicole Franco, Louis Viljoen and Sive Gubangxa.

The Play That Goes Wrong is a celebration of the best of live theatre… and the worst. The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is putting on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong… does! The accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!

Given 5 stars from The Daily Mail, called a ‘Gut-busting hit’ by the New York Times and with celebrity endorsements from the likes of Ant and Dec ‘funniest show we’ve seen! If you can get a ticket go.’

The Play That Goes Wrong is guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!  The show’s running time is 2 hours, 5 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.  The recommended Age is older than 8 years old.

South African audiences will be treated to the award-winning Comedy from 24 March in Jo’Burg and 3 May in Cape Town.
