ABOUT

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is a play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields of Mischief Theatre Company. The story follows a performance of a murder mystery, where the ill-fated theatre company encounters numerous mishaps. The original production began running in 2012 in London, where it won Best New Comedy at the 2015 Laurence Olivier Awards.

 

Since 2014, the play has undertaken five tours of the UK, and a Broadway production ran from 2017–2019 and then continued off-Broadway. It is now being produced all over the world by professional and non-professional theatre groups alike!

 

BLACK BOX THEATRE CO. is proud to be producing THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island in August 2025.

Let the mayhem ensue! (Don't worry, we have insurance.)
