THE LONGEST RUNNING COMEDY IN THE WEST END

You all know the classic whodunnit story, there has been a murder at a country manor and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this plot is given to the accident-prone thespians at The Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong... does!

The actors and crew battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself!

Experience total mayhem and enjoy the perfect slice of escapist comedy, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter.

Absolutely fantastic

Miss Vanete Barr

Super funny enjoyed very much

MRS SARAH JANE WARD

Our group of 4 found the play very funny. Even before the play started the 'technicians' were getting us in the mood for a fabulous show. The falling down scenery, the moving dead bodies, the wrong props was hilarious. The understudy and heroine fight was hysterical. The stunts that should have hurt the actors, felt quite real. The audience laughed so loudly in places that we didn't always hear what was being said on stage, but I don't think it mattered for the plot! Well done to all actors on stage when the walls fell in on them - a close call! Laughed so much. Excellent show. Well done to all.

Lisa Snary

what a fabulous laugh out loud experience. The casts ability to deliver a quick fire activity loaded extravaganza. perfect for the soul.

Nicole Mollenkopf MacLaughlin

We laughed the entire time! My kids absolutely loved it. Well done!

David Bradshaw

I have not laughed this much for years. The actors were all brilliant and the performance started before the performance started, which will be more understandable if you go to see this play, it's well worth it.

Len Baines

We only made it through the first half as we found the play to be so over the top, hammed up, Childish, pantomime stuff, that we couldn’t stand a second half helping!! My review - stay home!! ????

Jan Lord

The play was too slapstick and frantic for us. The acting and set design was brilliant.

Dianne

The play that goes wrong, is funniest show i have ever seen. Entertaining even before the curtain goes up, so aim to arrive early. Could not stop laughing all the way through.
