FestivalSouth® opened its 13th season with the Tony and Olivier Award-winner, The Play That Goes Wrong, June 2 - 4, 2022 in the Mannoni Performing Arts Center on the Southern Miss Campus. From the producer of Avenue Q and Something Rotten! and producer J.J. Abrams (who we can only assume lost a bet), this hilarious comedy is a hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes.
The play invited the audience to the opening night of “The Murder at Haversham Manor” where things quickly went from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “A riotous explosion of comedy!” (The Daily Beast) and “Tons of fun for all ages!” (HuffPost).
