A theater troupe puts on a disastrous production of the classic Christmas story, with hilarious consequences.
The play in question, at the centre of its conceit, is titled The Murder At Haversham Manor; purporting to have been written by Susie H.K. Brideswell, in reality, a fictional author, and performed by the equally fictional Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, it’s a 1920s murder mystery comedy that opens with the slaying of Charles Haversham on the night of his engagement to Florence Colleymoore. The CPDS are gamely attempting to do it justice, but suffice to say they put the amateur in ‘amateur theatre company’, and the result is slapstick and farce.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a hilarious comedy that takes audiences behind the scenes of a live performance of the classic tale. As the title suggests, everything that can go wrong does, resulting in utter chaos and lots of laughs. From forgotten lines to malfunctioning sets, the cast and crew must navigate countless mishaps to try to salvage the show. This slapstick comedy is full of comedic mayhem and clever twists as the characters struggle to keep the production afloat.
