Four tramps huddle together at an abandoned railway station, full of vodka-fuelled dreams of escaping on one of the passing trains. But the trains never stop.

Olivier Award-nominated The Play That Goes Wrong today announces that it will extend its run for a second time, until 14 February 2016.

With their advertising campaign encouraging people to 'SAVE MONEY - DON'T COME' which apparently has not worked, the show that they capitalised in the West End for £250,000 and opened at the Duchess Theatre at the beginning of September, written by and starring unknown out of work actors, has already recouped all of its production costs and is now turning a weekly profit.

The Play That Goes Wrong, which opened to great acclaim at the Duchess Theatre on 14 September, is delighted to announce the opening of a new booking period today, with tickets going on sale until 6 September 2015.

Following a sold-out UK tour, The Play That Goes Wrong will open at The Duchess Theatre on 14 September 2014, with previews from 5 September.
