Next up for Rivercity Players is a hilarious play about things that just can’t go right.
The Play That Goes Wrong, by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, 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.
This Rivercity Players production is being directed by Luisa Handford who is making her directorial debut with the group. It is being produced by Dennis Hawkins-Bogle.
The cast features Shelagh Germyn, Kelly Senko, Nicole Bergot, Kelli Colley, Christine MacNeil, Cielo Richardson, Darlene Carr and Wes Underhill.
