Top of PageMurder Before Christmas, The
Synopsis:
the Murder Before Christmas is the ultimate play that goes wrong. A brand new Christmas comedy from the Mischief. the set is almost painted, the actors almost know their lines and all 2,500 copies of the programme have had the typo 'the Murder Before Christ' corrected by hand. It is the opening night of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society's production of the Murder Before Christmas a festive whodunit. This ambitious Drama society is nervous and excited to be performing for the first time outside of the college grounds at none other than the beloved Old Red Lion theatre Pub. But tensions run high in this particular Drama society as off stage politics become onstage subtext. Can the company keep the production on track until the denouement? And can the stage manager keep the set standing upright?

Top of PagePlay that Goes Wrong, The
Synopsis:
the inept and accident prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on bringing an ambitious 1920's murder mystery (Murder at Haversham Manor) to the Edinburgh Festival. Chris the arrogant head of the Drama society has directed the piece and cast himself as the dynamic Inspector. Desperate wannabe actress Sandra and the genuinely doting Max struggle opposite each other as the romantic interest while hapless Dennis still can't pronounce 'facade'. An hour of hilarious disaster ensues; actors get knocked out, the play gets stuck on a loop and the set falls down before the final denouement. the production ends with an uproarious, totally improvised Q&A session with the cast, where the audience can put their own questions to the unfortunate troupe.
