If everything that can go wrong goes wrong, it might as well be The Play That Goes Wrong.
The Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedy from London’s Mischief follows an amateur theatre company as its attempt to stage a classic murder mystery descends into mayhem. Collapsing sets, disappearing props, forgotten lines and other perfectly timed mishaps turn theatrical disaster into slapstick comedy.
Described as one of the funniest live shows ever created, the production has entertained millions of audiences across the West End, Broadway and more than 50 countries since its London premiere.
Its appeal lies in the chaos — except none of it is accidental. The mishaps are meticulously choreographed, with physical comedy and comic timing driving the action from curtain up to the final bow.
For GMG Productions founder and CEO Carlos Candal, the production is also an accessible introduction to live theatre.
“The Play That Goes Wrong is simply one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen,” Candal said, describing it as “brilliant slapstick comedy with perfectly choreographed chaos, spectacular physical comedy and nonstop laughs from beginning to end.”
He added that he recently watched the show in London with his children and called it “the perfect introduction to live theatre for families because everyone, whether you’re six or sixty, laughs together.”
Presented by GMG Productions in arrangement with Mischief Worldwide Ltd, The Play That Goes Wrong runs 6–22 November 2026 at The Theatre at Solaire.
