The Play That Goes Wrong has announced an extension to its run.

With over 3500 performances in the West End, the slapstick comedy follows an amateur theatre group as they attempt to put on a murder mystery, with everything that could go wrong, going wrong. As the actors struggle with faulty props, forgotten lines, and collapsing sets, chaos ensues on the stage at the Duchess Theatre, resulting in non-stop laughter.

The understudies are: Alex Bird, Munashe Chirisa, Colm Gleeson, Dumile Sibanda and Alice Stokoe.

The Play That Goes Wrong is co-written by Mischief company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and is directed by Mark Bell, with set designs by Nigel Hook, costumes by
Roberto Surace, lighting by Ric Mountjoy, original music by Rob Falconer, sound design by Andy Johnson, the Associate Director is Amy Milburn and the Resident Director is Lexie Ward. The Play
That Goes Wrong is produced in the West End by Kenny Wax Ltd and Stage Presence Ltd.

To celebrate the milestone, we also had the opportunity to interview Jonathan Sayer about the production's journey.
