The Play That Goes Wrong
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields
The smash hit farce, The Play That Goes Wrong, comes to LSU Theatre. During the course of a disastrous opening night, accident-prone actors battle an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, and technical mayhem to reach the final curtain. Part Monty Python and part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon.
