The great privilege of performing in a lauded historical venue, squandered.
A limited engagement of Broadway and West End favorite The Play That Goes Wrong takes the stage at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater July 20, with performances continuing through August 13 at the Washington, D.C. venue. The cast comprises alum from the work's various U.S. productions, with actors hailing from its Broadway, Off-Broadway, touring, and Chicago runs.
The Kennedy Center bow features Bartley Booz as Dennis, Joseph Anthony Byrd as Jonathan, Peyton Crim as Robert, Mara Davi as Sandra, Matt Harrington as Chris, Kai Almeda Heath as Annie, Alex Mandell as Max, and Akron Watson as Trevor. Rounding out the company as standbys are Brett Cassidy, Kullan S. Edberg, and Brandon Haagenson.
Co-written by Mischief Theatre company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong introduces The Cornley University Drama Society, which is attempting to put on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong does as the accident-prone thespians battle on against all odds to get to their final curtain call.
