The Play That Goes Wrong Audition Information

Directed by: John Flynn

The Play That Goes Wrong play follows the misadventures of an amateur theatre group that get together once a year to stage a show, and this time it’s the mystery play Murder at Haversham Manor. As the play begins, the cast are already facing a losing battle: forgotten lines, faulty props, and broken scenery make it challenging to put on a show. But then things go from bad to worse: misunderstandings, fires, and collapsing sets make it almost impossible. Can this amateur group defeat the odds? Or will it all go wrong?
