Noises Off meets Fawlty Towers in this West End smash hit comedy. The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempt to put on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything, that can go wrong does, as the accident-prone thesps battle on against all the odds to get to their final curtain call. This highly energetic new farce has enjoyed two successful runs in the West End and was the sell-out hit of the Edinburgh Festival with sensational reviews and numerous accolades and awards. The Times called it “ridiculously funny” and the Daily Telegraph “genuinely hilarious”.
