BWW Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is a Perfect Recipe for Hysterical Disaster
by Tanya Seale - March 16, 2019
A play within a play, The Play that Goes Wrong is the tale of the Cornley University Drama Society which, despite several earlier snags, is opening their 1920s murder mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor. In the moments just before the show opens, an audience member is recruited to help the tech crew (Ryan George as Trevor Watson and Ka-Ling Cheung as Annie Twilloil) mend a few set issues. No biggie, though. It's just a broken mantlepiece that holds several key props. And a main entrance from backstage with a door that won't stay closed. Or open. Or closed. There are a couple of floor planks that need to be nailed in, still. And there's a missing Duran Duran CD somewhere in the theatre. Oh, and a missing dog. What could possibly go wrong? Right?

The very energetically wild folks at Ten Directions have arrived, axes in hand, to have a chop or two at this old classic. Their Bouffon Glass Menajoree opened last night at the Centene under the aegis of the Young Liars.
