Chaos and pandemonium reign when The Play That Goes Wrong opens Feb. 29

Disaster befalls a group of amateur, community actors putting on ‘The Murder at Haversham Manor’

It will be opening night on Thursday, Feb. 29 for Rivercity Players’ production of The Play That Goes Wrong, by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields

This is a comedy full of hi-jinx and mishaps from a group of amateur, community actors putting on ‘The Murder at Haversham Manor.’ During the ‘play,’ disaster befalls the thespians, including a set that won’t cooperate, lines being forgotten, cues being missed, a corpse that won’t play dead, and actors breaking character. Chaos and pandemonium reign in this uproarious comedy which will be fun for all ages.

Opening night is Thursday, Feb. 29 at the Rivercity Stage (1080 Hemlock St) at 7:30 p.m. The play runs Feb. 29 to March 3 and March 7 to March 9 at 7:30 p.m., with matinees Sunday, March 3 and Saturday, March 9 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $25 and available now at www.rivercitytickets.ca, and can also be purchased in person at the theatre on Feb. 8, 13 and 20 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
