Why see The Play That Goes Wrong?
What Could Go Wrong?
The runaway comedy success that hails from the multi-award-winning Mischief Theatre, this Broadway and West End hit finally lands in San Franciso, ready to unravel as it kicks off the San Francisco Playhouse's 2024/25 season! Following the unlucky fortunes of an amateur dramatic society as they attempt to stage a murder mystery, this laugh-out-loud play is a madcap adventure that channels the zaniness of Monty Python with the intricacy of Sherlock Holmes.
Now celebrating over a decade of going wrong on both sides of the Atlantic, don't miss your chance to enjoy this much anticipated West Coast staging, directed by SFP's own Susi Damilano.
What is the story?
Welcome to the opening night of 'The Murder at Haversham Manor' where students of the Cornley University Drama Society are attempting to stage this 1920s production. However, everything that can go wrong is and the opening night is quickly going from bad to disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, and actors who trip over everything they struggle to get to their final curtain call.

Don’t Miss This One!
I went to this play last night. I really had no expectations since I hadn’t read anything about the story line.
Do. Not. Miss. This. Play. Not only is the storyline hilarious, but EACH character/actor made me laugh from start to finish. Their timing, expressions, and delivery was superb.
I thoroughly enjoyed each moment and all of the laughter. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you. ... Read more

A Hilarious Disaster: Studio Tenns ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a Masterclass in Controlled Chaos
A meticulously orchestrated catastrophe that had the audience howling, pointing at the stage, and squirming at controlled devastation from start to finish. Under the expert direction of Matt Logan, the production showcased both the razor-sharp comedic timing and the technical wizardry required to pull off a play that revels in everything going wrong.
The Play That Goes Wrong is a fantastical, farcical tour de force that requires a truly skilled cast to deliver a relentless physical comedy without missing a beat, and Studio Tenn’s ensemble rose to the challenge.
The true magic of The Play - in order to get everything to go so horribly awry, everything must be executed with meticulous perfection. Studio Tenn’s production was nothing short of brilliant, proving that comedy can be as thrilling as the most dramatic of performances.
This was an unforgettable night of theater, a masterclass in controlled chaos, and two hours that have generated a lifetime of laughter in reflection. ... Read more
