The Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) presents its production of The Play That Goes Wrong, with performances from July 12 through 28 at the Solvang Festival Theater. Described as “part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes,” this award-winning farce is about a drama group’s murder mystery production that goes from “bad to disastrous,” according to press materials.
The show’s director, Roger DeLaurier, described the production as having a “brash, energetic, mischievous quality as the play careens between the clockwork precision of excellent farce and a sense of the improvised.”
“After reading the script I was still excited and also a little bit scared, and I mean that in the best possible way,” DeLaurier said in in a statement. “It has been a wonderful challenge for everyone on the project and one which I hope we met with creativity, determination, and a great sense of fun.”
DeLaurier hopes the show offers its audiences “two hours of hilarity and silliness whose sole aim is the release and relief of laughter.”
