INDIANAPOLIS – Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s new summer play is going “wrong” — in the most hilarious ways! The award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong is now on stage through Aug. 23.
It’s opening night for the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything theatres never want in a show: an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award-winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s leaving audiences aching with laughter!
Tickets are currently on sale exclusively through Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre at beefandboards.com or by calling the box office at 317-872-9664. Patrons are advised that tickets purchased from third-party sellers may not be valid for performances and may include additional fees.
The Play That Goes Wrong falls apart in 47 performances through Aug. 23. Regardless of the catastrophe on stage, Beef & Boards’ tasty dinner buffet is just right, and always included – along with coffee, tea, or lemonade. Gourmet desserts and bar beverages are available for purchase.
