THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Extends to 3 November 2024

To celebrate its 9th anniversary, The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier Award-winning hit comedy, has announced an extension at The Duchess Theatre, with tickets now on sale until 3 November 2024, and officially begins the countdown to celebrating its tenth anniversary, and a decade of chaos in the West End – 365 days to go!

The Play That Goes Wrong is the longest running play at The Duchess Theatre (since the theatre opened in 1929), and is the longest running comedy in the West End.

Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer, Directors of Mischief, said today, “We’re delighted to be celebrating 9 years in the West End, and that The Play That Goes Wrong is continuing to entertain audiences. Thank you to everyone who has seen and supported the show – we can’t believe we’re nearly 10!”

Awarded the 2014 WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Comedy, the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a Tony Award for the Broadway transfer, The Play That Goes Wrong continues to delight audiences in the West End and around the world. The show’s success is a testament to the hard work and determination of a group of drama school graduates who became friends, set up a company under the name ‘Mischief’ and created an extraordinary body of work. The Play That Goes Wrong shows no signs of slowing down since its first performance at The Old Red Lion 10 years ago with only four paying customers. Since then, it has played to an audience of over two million and had productions in over 49 countries.

The company is completed by Harry Bradley, Elliot Goodhill, Rosie Meek, Hisham Abdel Razek, and Tommi Vicky.

The Play That Goes Wrong is co-written by Mischief company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and is directed by Mark Bell, with set designs by Nigel Hook, costumes by Roberto Surace, lighting by Ric Mountjoy, original music by Rob Falconer, sound design by Andy Johnson, the associate director is Sean Turner and the resident director is Amy Milburn. The Play That Goes Wrong is produced in the West End by Kenny Wax Ltd and Stage Presence Ltd.
