With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), the time will never be more right to see The Play That Goes Wrong. 

When a diplomat's wife discovers a dead body in their drawing room shortly before her husband arrives home with a V.I.P., she tries to dispose of the corpse so the visit will be uneventful. Confusion and hilarity ensue! The play will be produced by ActorsNET and performed on the Heritage Center Theatre stage in Morrisville, PA.

Southwark Playhouse has announced its spring 2020 season shows, and an update on new venue in the Elephant and current premises on Newington Causeway.

Whatever the cause, there's a history of no-frills, tension-baiting underground rock in Chicago, and Luggage are the latest torchbearers of that lineage.  The band members' disciplined restraint and frequency-specific contributions allow the listener to hear every instrument, every nuance, and every tonal deviation. The calculated limitations on Shift (November 22, Corpse Flower Records) not only serve to capture Luggage in their purest state, they capture the entire essence of Chicago. It's as imposing, rigid, and cold as their environment, but also thrives with life within the confines of its monolithic constructions.

Fresh from a sell-out, critically acclaimed initial run at the New Diorama Theatre which saw SpitLip take home the prestigious Stage Debut Award for 'Best Composer/Lyricist', the team are back with the latest incarnation of Operation Mincemeat at Southwark Playhouse for a limited run of ten performances.

The corpse of a young man is found dead on the Tumulus on Hampstead Heath. Then, another one. Both are immediately linked to the city's chemsex scene but Anthony thinks something else is going on, so he sets off on a personal investigation that spans parties and intimacy in Christopher Adams' play.

A young man is raised with the expectation that he will follow in his father's footsteps, working in the trade and carrying on an important tradition, but instead, he wants to follow his own path and become an artist. It is a classic coming-of-age narrative of a generational and cultural shift that is common enough in Western literature. By finding the same conflict in an Iraqi family, Sinan Antoon's The Corpse Washer shows just how universal fundamental storytelling forms can be.

A nightmarish scream anticipates the lights. A maid is standing over a bloodied corpse, fresh blood is soaking her arms up to her elbow and staining her crisp white apron.

Cheating Death fails to solve the considerable problems of writing and staging farce in an ambitious show that falls well short of expectations.
