Review Precisely what I expected of a professional grade comedy, with phenomenal writing and utterly superb comedic timing thanks to the cast, The Play That Goes Wrong tops the charts in personal recommendation, and deserves at least a second viewing in order to leave it satisfied

Unexpectedly phenomenal! This show is thoroughly thought through, exquisitely executed and completely captivating. The actors are exceptionally well cast and the organic integration of the audience is absolutely delightful. Hats off to the stage designers, writers, production crew and all behind the scene staff, who have to be on point to make this work safely. I haven’t been so entertained in years. Laugh therapy guaranteed. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

So funny my sides hurt Brilliant show, it was so funny and well acted. Went with a group of friends for a birthday treat and we were not disappointed so much so have been recommending people go and see the show. Loved it and would happily go again. Don't want to say too much so as not to spoil the surprises and spontaneous nature of the show but definitely book now you won't be disappointed.

Fantastically funny! The programme had me laughing before the show even began (well worth the money!), and the show itself meant I barely stopped laughing the whole way through. All the actors were excellent, I cannot recommend this show highly enough. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?

A fast paced farce The pace and acting in this play are excellent . I grew up with Laurel and Hardy and this kind of slapstick humour and unfortunately have never really found it funny after the first half hour and I feel the same about this. However it was much appreciated by most of the audience!

The Play That Goes Wrong I did laugh a lot & if going - make sure you are in your seat 15 mins before the start or you will miss very funny preamble...I think the director could have asked the actors to speed up some of the slap stick gags but the way the set contruction is set up to help it all fall apart is genius- I genuinely had my heart in my mouth for a few moments ....some great acrobatics added in for good measure.....for those who love slap stick- this is right up your street

Slapstick farce We did not find this show funny at all as the humour was all physical, forced and entirely predictable. We were expecting a humourous take on amateur dramatics, but the play is merely a bad version of a whodunnit where the set slowly falls apart with the actors trying to put it back together whilst carrying on. Teenagers in the audience found it funny but don't go if you're expecting a sophisticated dialogue based obsevational commedy.
