Review: DE KOMEDIE OVER EEN BANK OVERVAL at De Goudse Schouwburg!
by Chantal Kunst - Oct 17, 2023


What did our critic think of DE KOMEDIE OVER EEN BANK OVERVAL at De Goudse Schouwburg?The Comedy about a Bank Robbery. A play created by Mischief Theatre (script: Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields) , who are also responsible for the Olivier Award-winnig show The Play That Goes Wrong.  The Dutch adaptation is in hands of Pretpakhuis, in a direction (and translation) by Jon van Eerd. Let me start by saying this may or may not be your genre, this kind of physical comedy is extremely subject to  personal taste and I’m sure more than half of the audience whole-heartedly will disagree with the below.

Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Does Everything Right at B Street Theatre
by Courtney Symes - Aug 16, 2023


You may have heard that back in the 20th century a guy by the name of Edward Murphy famously said, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” Pessimistic? Maybe. Accurate? Definitely, as proven in B Street Theatre’s side-splitting rendition of The Play That Goes Wrong. This award-winning comedy written by members of the aptly named Mischief Theatre Company is a play within a play about things that go, well, wrong.
