2025.8.28. The Play that Goes Wrong at Seattle Rep

8/28, Thursday. I went to watch The Play That Goes Wrong at Seattle Rep, on its first preview day.

This is a laugh-out-loud funny comedy, by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields & Jonathan Sayer (the 3 founders of Mischief Theatre). This production is co-produced with Portland Center Stage, which I also liked.

The plot is simple. It's the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor, mishaps are causing mayhem on stage: props falling down, elevator malfunctioning, flight between the 2 female members. They still proceed with the show until its end.
