Review: 'Play That Goes Wrong' gets it right by going really remarkably wrong
8 / 10
The exceptional direction of the piece, by Mark Bell, embraces risk and danger to an extraordinary extent. That means 'The Play That Goes Wrong' never seems safe or comfortable in its own skin - the tricked-out design by Nigel Hook is exceptionally clever and suffused with booby traps of considerable aesthetic imagination, but it remains persistently tawdry, as it should be, of course. And thus at no point is 'The Play That Goes Wrong' one of those smug, accomplished London imports, sets collapsing on cue and well-spoken farceurs risking nothing.
