THE ONE-ACT PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields

Directed by Donnie Lockwood

August 8 – August, 2025

Fresh from hits such as The Lion and The Wardrobe, Cat, and James and the Peach, the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society has received a substantial bequest and is putting on a performance of The Murder at Haversham Manor – a 1920s murder mystery play, similar to The Mousetrap, which has the right number of parts for its members. During the performance, a plethora of disasters befalls the actors and comedy and chaos ensues.
