The Play That Goes Wrong at Duchess Theatre in the West End

Mischief’s The Play That Goes Wrong are determined to continue at the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End until they get it right.

The Cornley Drama Society have announced that they intend to keep performing the show until they get it 100% right. In light of this, the producers have extended booking until ‘at least’ October 2027, with some confidence. Cornley have yet to notice.

The Play That Goes Wrong opened at London’s Duchess Theatre in September 2014 and the production shows no signs of slowing down since its first performance at The Old Red Lion Theatre playing to only four paying customers. The show’s success is a testament to the hard work and determination of a group of drama school graduates who became friends, set up a company under the name ‘Mischief’ and created an extraordinary body of work over the past decade.
