AT THE BENIJÓFAR CULTURAL CENTRE, ALICANTE
It's the morning after and I can still hear the laughter. That's what good people with a great show can do. The audience chuckled, laughed out aloud and applauded and that is what this cast, crew members, well dressed up front of house staff, sound and lighting and set builders achieved. It was all gorgeous. But what the hell am I talking about?
Some idiots within Actors Community Theatre chose ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’! Well that could be inviting disaster, couldn't it? Asking luvvies to get it wrong! What a mess we could all be in! Was that foolish or brave I have asked myself for weeks? That's what they put on, pulled it off with aplomb and they have earned all the plaudits. The applause was truly deserved.
The title, ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’, is really a ‘nom de guerre, as this play is about “murder in the first degree”. Someone gets killed in ‘The Murder at Haversham Manor’, but who? How? And When? I am not a plot-spoiler and since you missed our performances you can go to London to see it where it will cost more than 8€
PS I tried to read the programme, but that really was ‘arse about face’ and even back to front and the wrong way up. What fun if you can read upside down!
