Henry Shields as Chris Bean - the company's pedantic, long-suffering director, who struggles to keep the play running smoothly. a b "Crisis Averted! THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Extends Through January 2019". BroadwayWorld. 11 July 2018. This new play from Mischief Theatre is different from the productions above in that the audiences won't be seeing anything going wrong. Instead, it's a tightly written farce that has been scripted by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields - the same trio that have penned the group's other shows.The Second National tour launched in the fall of 2019 and continued until the COVID-19 pandemic caused it to shut down ahead of schedule. Cast members included Chris Lanceley as Chris, Chris French as Jonathan, Michael Thatcher as Robert, Jacqueline Jarrold as Sandra, Todd Buonopone as Dennis, and Adam Petherbridge as Max. Bianca Horn initially played Annie before returning to the Off-Broadway company. She was replaced by Ashley D. Kelley. Jason Bowen also initially played Trevor before swapping places with off-Broadway's Ryan Vincent Anderson. Jonathan Sayer as Dennis Tyde - an actor entrusted with small roles, including animals and inanimate objects, due to his inability to remember lines and his misinterpretation of stage directions and instructions. The plot for each episode of the programme focuses on the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society having the opportunity to conduct a play on live television before a live studio audience. As with the stage performances conducted by Mischief Theatre as the fictional theatre company, all productions and events done by the Cornley group tend to go wrong due to issues with props and stage pieces, mistakes with lines, and problematic accidents; in some cases, the play goes wrong right from the start due to a mistake setting it up.

A touring production began in Australia at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne from February 2017, before heading to Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth. [13] US Tour (2018) [ edit ] It’s a remarkable feat, but perhaps not too surprising when you consider that it’s working in a long tradition of theatre “goes wrong” – from Shakespeare’s rude mechanicals through to Michael Frayn’s Noises Off. While the latter spoofs the creaky bedroom farce, Mischief’s Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields target the am-dram version of the Agatha Christie whodunit. Another standout in the current The Play That Goes Wrong cast is Ross Virgo, whose actor is so chuffed by any audience response that he immediately breaks character to grin inanely. When he snaps his sword mid-fight, he makes sound effects for it, like a child vocalising a lightsaber. The company conduct a drama set in the Deep South of America, as a plantation family come together in their father's final hours, unaware some are planning to swindle the others out of an inheritance. However, a mishap by the set designers, who misinterpreted the play's title, leaves the cast coping with one set made at a 90 degree angle on its side, and another made upside down.
