If you like to watch funny chaos then this play is for you. Watch a bunch of misfits try to put on a 1920’s murder mystery and see everything that can go wrong, go wrong. You’ll need abs of steel to withstand the laughter that ensues with its witty word-play, plus there is enough slapstick and silliness to keep the kids rolling in the aisles with you.
Debuting at the Lyric Theatre, HKAPA, THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG’s phenomenal popularity looks set to continue as it is now playing in six out of seven continents around the world. It has recently won, a prestigious Tony Award® for Best Scenic Design in a Play. Nigel Hook’s ingenious design enables the set to gradually fall to pieces as mayhem unfolds during the course of the two-act play. Don’t miss the chance to see the award-winning set for yourselves!
