The Play That Goes Wrong: Laugh-Out-Loud Mayhem Comes to Life in Abbotsford
Chaos meets comedy in this wildly entertaining theatre experience!
A Masterclass in Comic Disaster
The Play That Goes Wrong, now delighting audiences in Abbotsford, is a comedy that turns catastrophe into pure entertainment. Presented by Gallery 7 Theatre at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, this slapstick-packed performance celebrates everything that can—and hilariously does—go wrong in live theatre.
What Makes “The Play That Goes Wrong” So Right?
From collapsing sets to forgotten lines and missed cues, every “mistake” in this play is actually carefully choreographed to produce non-stop laughs. The show follows a fictional amateur drama group trying (and failing) to put on a serious murder mystery. The results of their attempts are pure gold.
It’s not just about the blunders—the real brilliance lies in the timing, physical humor, and commitment of the actors. They deliver their roles with absurd sincerity. That contrast between the actors’ seriousness and the surrounding chaos is what keeps the audience rolling in laughter.
