The Play That Goes Wrong on BBC!

The BBC has just announced The Goes Wrong Show, based on the hit Broadway show The Play That Goes Wrong, according to the magazine Variety. Lewis and Jonathan Sawyer and Henry Shields, his co-writers and the original co-stars of the play, will write the series. Each episode will parody the same genre as the play, such as a courtroom drama and spy thriller. This is actually the second time the BBC Channel have worked on Mischief Theatre comedies.  They have worked in the past on Peter Pan Goes Wrong and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.

The acclaimed stage comedy The Play That Goes Wrong debuted in London and moved to Broadway, it recently transferred to Off-Broadway’s New World Stages.

This Broadway hit is basically a play within a play where the characters fall upon a plethora of disasters, including doors sticking, props falling from the walls and floors collapsing. Cast members are often seen misplacing props, forgetting lines, missing cues, breaking character, mispronouncing words and even stepping on fingers.

I personally cannot wait to see this show on my television. Tune in to BBC to find out the exact air dates when they are released to the public.
