The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier Award-winning box office hit, astoundingly celebrates its fourth birthday today by announcing a new booking period with tickets going on sale until 27 October 2019.

Dropping its audience of just 50 a show into the middle of an adventure in which they are trained in the art of the con, participants will meet characters, solve clues and get a masterclass in the ways of the grifter, all in the interest pulling off one final swindle to take down a seamy criminal mastermind. They will have their intelligence tested and get trained in scams like The Pig In The Poke, The Round-The Corner, and The Money Swap…but in the end will they be sharp enough to take down an evil genius at his own game? An experience unlike anything ever performed on a stage, The Grift will sweep its audience into a thrilling adventure, turning everyday theatergoers into master con men. And when the show ends? They'll be released back into the world with a whole new skill set-one that can pay off for years to come.

Casting is announced for the UK premi re of The Grift, an immersive, site-specific experience - part theatre and part game - being staged in the historic Town Hall Hotel in London's Bethnal Green.
