When everything goes wrong on stage

A murder case, an ambitious ensemble, and a theater set on the brink of collapse: The Play That Goes Wrong transforms the theater in Antoniushaus in Regensburg into a fast-paced laboratory of comedic failure. On November 5, 2026, the audience will experience a performance in which every appearance becomes a daring rescue mission and every prop change turns into a stage drama.

A crime goes out of control

At the center is the amateur theater group of the Cornley Drama Society, which wants to perform the murder mystery Murder at Haversham Castle. But even before the first murder, nothing is right: doors fail, decorations slip, props disappear, and the characters increasingly lose control over their own production. From the classic whodunit, a precisely choreographed chaos develops.

Dramaturgy of controlled misfortune

The comedy by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields thrives on a sophisticated play-within-a-play structure. The acting balances between apparent inability and the highest technical precision. Every mishap has its dramatic timing, every breakdown follows a clever buildup. It is this tension between disaster and control that gives the play its special appeal.

Stage design, acoustics, and theater atmosphere

The stage design becomes an acting force in itself: pieces of the set are set in motion, processes tip over, and small mistakes lead to increasingly larger scenes. Slapstick, timing, and physical acting meet the immediate acoustics of the theater. The audience experiences a theater atmosphere where shared laughter and breathless anticipation lie closely together.

An international successful comedy

The Play That Goes Wrong originated from the work of the London Mischief Theatre Company and developed into an internationally successful stage comedy. The authors Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields combine British humor with a loving homage to the stage art. The production received significant attention, including through its award-winning international theater history.

Conclusion: A stage experience with perfect timing

Those who want to experience theater in its most surprising, physical, and anarchic form will find an evening full of slapstick, ensemble energy, and virtuoso stage mishaps at Antoniushaus. The audience's reaction arises not only from individual gags but from the astonishment over a production that masters failure down to the smallest detail.
