THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
EXTENDS IN THE WEST END
Mischief’s Olivier and Tony awardwinning smash-hit The Play That Goes
Wrong have reinforced that they are
determined to continue at the Duchess
Theatre in London’s West End until they
get it right. Performances of the chaotic
comedy have been extended until
Sunday 31 January 2027, perfect for
those with a new 2026 diary.
A Relaxed Performance of the show
has been scheduled at the Duchess
Theatre for 8 March. The Relaxed
Performance will be adapted especially
for people with autism, learning
difficulties and other communication
needs. The aim is to offer a supportive,
understanding and welcoming
atmosphere for all.
Sound levels will be slightly reduced,
there will be minimised moments of
darkness in the auditorium, and
audience members are encouraged to
move around if needed and are welcome
to leave and re-enter the performance.
The Olivier Award-winning The Play
That Goes Wrong opened at London’s
Duchess Theatre in September 2014.
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.

Jessica Parks is a maverick London
Crown Court Judge; sharp,
compassionate, and determined to
change a system she knows isn’t always
just. But her career exists inter alia
(‘among other things’) as she balances
motherhood, friendship and the elusive
notion of ‘having it all’. So, when an
unthinkable event rocks her finely tuned
life, can she hold her family together or will everything fall apart?
