As The Play That Goes Wrong, the Olivier and Tony Award-winning smash hit running at the Duchess Theatre prepares to celebrate a phenomenal 10 years in the West End on September 10th, Mischief have announced over 360 £10 front row tickets will be released throughout September. To access these tickets, sign up at www.MischiefComedy.com to receive weekly ticket release via email every Friday at 12 noon from 30 August.
The co-writers and original performers in the show, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields said: ‘We can’t quite believe it’s been 10 years since our show began its run at the Duchess Theatre. When we began our journey at the Old Red Lion Theatre – none of us imagined that The Play that Goes Wrong would have reached this milestone. And we are delighted to be able to celebrate with our loyal audiences by releasing 360 front row tickets for £10 throughout our anniversary month of September.’
The Play That Goes Wrong opened at the Duchess Theatre in September 2014 and the production shows no signs of slowing down since its first performance at The Old Red Lion Theatre playing to only four paying customers. The show’s success is a testament to the hard work and determination of a group of drama school graduates who became friends, set up a company under the name ‘Mischief’ and created an extraordinary body of work over the past decade. The show’s many achievements to date include:
- A Whatsonstage Award for Best New Comedy in 2014
- An Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2015
- A Tony Award for the Broadway Transfer
- It has been performed in over 50 countries around the world.
- It has been seen by over 3.5 million people globally on every continent except Antarctica (where producers fear a frosty reception).
- And Winston the Dog is still missing a decade on.
The cast of The Play that Goes Wrong is: Jordan Akkaya as Trevor, Daniel Anthony as Dennis, Joe Bolland as Jonathan, Daniel Fraser as Chris, Billie Hamer as Annie, Owen Jenkins as Robert, Jay Olpin as Max and Hannah Sinclair Robinson as Sandra. 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.
