The Goes Wrong Show

A horror story, set in a crumbling old house, becomes a horror show as the play runs short and the actors end up falling off, out of, and through the rickety set.

Our amateur dramatists stage a WW2 drama, rarely performed because of its historical inaccuracy, that's bedeviled by collapsing sets, a missing actor, and machines with minds of their own.

A legal drama is to be performed this week, but a set-design problem baffles the stage crew. Throw in a nervous first-time actor, and it's a recipe for theatrical disaster.

A family saga of lust and betrayal set in the hot Deep South gets a trial by fire when it's ruined by a set. To fix the problem, life and limb are put at risk and gravity is ignored.

A period romance this week-hindered by a ceiling fan that threatens decapitation and a rain effect that might flood the entire set. There's also a horse. And a cat.

Santa's come to town to solve a little girl's holiday woes, but there's no Xmas cheer as he drinks too much sherry, an elf is trapped in the set, and a magical snowman is eaten alive.

Smash hit British comedy The Goes Wrong Show is now on Amazon from the BBC, and a bunch of celebrity fans, including Neil Patrick Harris, have recorded messages telling everyone how much they love the show.
