The Play That Goes Wrong – the longest-running comedy in the West End

You all know the classic whodunnit, but when the plot is given to the accident-prone Cornley Drama Society everything that can go wrong does. The actors and crew battle against all the odds to make it through to their final curtain call. Experience total mayhem and a perfect slice of escapist comedy at the hands of Mischief.

The Comedy About Spies – a brand-new mission from Mischief
