The Play That Goes Wrong

Murder, Mayhem, and Missed Cues

SEPT 09 - OCT 12, 2025 | WILSON STAGE

About the show:
A long-running commercial success on the West End and Broadway comes to Geva! The intrepid thespians of the Cornley Drama Society are more or less ready to raise the curtain on the grandest production the village has ever seen, The Murder at Haversham Manor—until things go from bad to calamitous. There’s an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that won’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines)—and that’s only the first act. It’s nothing you want in a show—and everything you want in a comedy!

By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields
Co-production with Indiana Repertory Theatre
Directed by Benjamin Hanna
Remount Director cara hinh
