Unable to get a day ticket for war horse, I managed to wrangle a ticket for a very different type of play. The Play that Goes Wrong hosts the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society putting on their latest amdram production of a murder mystery and, as the title suggests, all does not go to plan. This is clearly a 10 minute skit stretched out for a 2 hour show but the laugh a minute means that I didn't mind quite how repetitive it was. It is truly one of the funniest things I have ever seen.From the start when you enter to find the crew searching for a Duran Duran CD and a dog to the society's manager breaking down mid scene. It plays on every actors fears and each small thing that goes wrong or is improvised has an effect on the rest of that show. Each small thing also leads to even bigger things. This seems like it is not going to stray far from the West End in the near future and certainly would not complain if I got the chance to see this fantastically memorable production again.
