Forge Theatre opens 2025 with “The Play that Goes Wrong” by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields, and Jonathan Sayer.
Directed by Marsha Amato-Greenspan, this the smash hit farce takes audiences to the opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.
This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
Performances Jan 31, Feb 1, 7-9*, 14-16*, 2025 All Evening shows begin at 7:30 pm; Matinees (marked with an *) begin at 2 pm.
