Events Description

 

by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields & Jonathan Sayer

A revival of the Citadel Theatre, Theatre Calgary, Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s 2024 production

It’s Opening Night… and it’s not going well. Hang onto your seat and experience Broadway’s funniest play, about the worst murder mystery ever!

Five amateur actors. A semi-adaptable stage manager. A missing canine. One play that goes very, very WRONG. Comprised of a spiraling series of increasingly absurd mishaps, this whodunit is a certified trainwreck guaranteed to deliver non-stop laughter until the curtains fall. You’ll be thinking, “It can’t possibly get any worse than this… can it?” And the answer is yes, it can.

This Olivier Award-winning comedy offers a hilarious glimpse into the absolute worst-case scenarios that can unfold in the world of theatre. Premiering in 2012 in the UK, it went on to run over 745 performances on Broadway. Helmed by former Grand Theatre Artistic Director Dennis Garnhum, the production will now make its way to the Grand Theatre in London.
