West Springfield, MA (3/25/24) – The Play That Goes Wrong, a contemporary farce by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields and Jonathan Sayer, will be onstage at West Springfield’s Majestic Theater April 18 through June 2.
The comedy takes place on opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s latest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, and things begin to spiral out of control. An exasperated detective, a corpse who can’t play dead, an unconscious leading lady and other embattled and eccentric characters must overcome technical issues, forgotten lines and unreliable scenery in order to make it to the final curtain call. The Play That Goes Wrong has been described as “part Monty Python, part Marx Brothers, part Sherlock Holmes, and all mayhem.” The show has played to sold out audiences all over the world, and will be the final production of the Majestic Theater’s 26th season. Its new season will debut in September.
Cast members include Jack Grigoli (Chris), Scott Renzoni (Max), Shaun O’Keefe (Robert), Elizabeth Pietrangelo (Sandra), Josh Karam (Dennis), Mariko Iwasa (Annie), Liv Cunha (Trevor) and Weston Pytel (Jonathan). Danny Eaton is producing director of the play, and Sue Dziura is associate producing director. Stephen Petit is the director and production manager for the show. Associate production manager is Aurora Ferraro, and stage manager is Hope Rose Kelly. Dan Rist is lighting designer, and costumer designer is Dawn McKay.
