The Play That Goes Wrong, Duchess Theatre, London - 14th October 2018
Anyone who is a fan of slapstick, visual comedy or innuendo will get a lot of good belly laughs all throughout the show (before during and in the interval!). A thoroughly enjoyable night out I’d go so far as to say not to be missed.
