CONWAY — Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s production of “Murder at Haversham Manor” is an unmitigated disaster, marked by dreadful acting and a set that can barely stay together. In all my years as a critic, I’ve never seen a production so amateurish and, frankly, dangerous for everyone on stage and in the audience.
That would be my review for the murder mystery play being staged by a tragically inept theater company in “The Play That Goes Wrong,” which Arts in Motion Theater Co. is performing at the Majestic Theatre in North Conway Thursday through Sunday for the next two weeks.
Alec Kerr, entertainment critic for The Conway Daily Sun, discusses Arts in Motion Theater Co.'s "The Play That Goes Wrong" with cast members Matt Haley, Riley Waygood and Andrew Fournier. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s 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. Performances are Jan. 18-20 and Jan. 25-27 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 at 2 p.m. at the Majestic Theatre in Conway.
