The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is proud to present their new production of a 1920s murder mystery. However, the set is not yet complete and there is no time to finish it…. oh well, the show must go on! In this uproarious comedy, things don’t go exactly as they would have hoped - the sets collapse, lines are forgotten, props start to disappear, and actors go missing. Mayhem and chaos abound, the acting gets worse, and the set becomes progressively more dangerous, but the cast and crew struggle on regardless. The question is whether any of the company members will remain standing, or conscious for that matter, by the final curtain?!
