THE 2025 WINTER PLAY

Written by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields 

& Jonathan Sayer

The Fairmont Players of the Kettering Fairmont Theatre Department are proud to present the Winter Play, The Play that Goes Wrong, by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields!

From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Societies newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter! (Dramatists Play Service Inc.)
