THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
July 18-Aug. 10
[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

Cast: Billy Chace as Robert/Thomas Colleymoore, Montez Jenkins Copeland as John/Charles Haversham, Cary Davenport as Dennis/Perkins, Jeremy Dubin as Chris/Inspector Carter, Jared Earland as Crew Dude, Candice Handy as Annie, Matthew Lewis Johnson as Max/Cecil Haversham, Sylvester Little Jr. as Trevor & Kelly Mengelkoch as Sandra/Florence Calleymoore

It’s Opening Night at the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor and the stakes have never been higher. But none of the on-stage drama is in the script! The theater is filled with accident-prone actors, a corpse that can’t play dead to save his life, and a knocked-out knock out of a leading lady. When all goes wrong, can this theater company make it to Opening Night and bring down the house (in a good way)? This fantastic, farcical, fiasco of a show and Off-Broadway and West End comedic hit is back and the age-old adage is true: “the show must go wrong!” oops sorry, we mean “the show must go on!”
