Introduction
In this latest movie review, we dive deep into The Play That Goes Wrong (2012), exploring its intricate plot and standout performances that have everyone talking.
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.
