"The Play that Goes Wrong" MiraCosta College Theatre By Henry Lewis, Henry Shields, and Jonathan Sayer Directed by Eric Bishop Welcome to the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), come see why Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls "The Play That Goes Wrong" “A gut-busting hit!” This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of "Monty Python" and "Sherlock Holmes." It’s “a riotous explosion of comedy!” (The Daily Beast) and “tons of fun for all ages!” (Huffington Post). Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “Go!” Get tickets now – it would be WRONG to wait! Note: Children under the age of 5 are not admitted to the Theatre.
