NMHS Theatre presents The Play That Goes Wrong
NMHS Theatre is proud to present our 2025 Fall Production:
The Play That Goes Wrong
From Mischief Theatre–the masters of comedy in the West End, on Broadway, and currently Off-Broadway–comes this smash hit farce!
Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, a dramatic murder-mystery where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This attempt at a serious 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! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter! This show is fun for the whole family!
Come see our fantastic cast and stage crew perform in this hilarious show!
