The Off-Broadway production of the long-running slapstick comedy The Play That Goes Wrong will offer its first American Sign Language-interpreted performance February 26 at 2 PM at New World Stages.
ASL interpreters will be present for the performance to offer audiences a new way to experience the hit show.
The Play That Goes Wrong cast currently includes Trevor Braun as Dennis, Ashley N. Hildreth as Annie, Julian Robertson as Trevor, Chris Lanceley as Chris, Adam Petherbridge as Max, Chris French as Jonathan, John Rapson as Robert, Maggie Weston as Sandra, and understudies Damien Brett, Laura D’Andre, Brandon Haagenson, and Jemma Jane.
Co-created by Mischief company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong
invites audiences to the Cornley University Drama Society as they
perform... or at least attempt to perform... a 1920s murder mystery,
only for every live theatre snafu possible to befall the beleaguered
cast.
Directed by Mark Bell, the production premiered in London in 2012, eventually moving to the West End and winning an Olivier for Best New Comedy. A Broadway transfer opened in 2017, and moved to its current Off-Broadway home in 2019.
The production features set design by Nigel Hook, costume design by Roberto Surace, lighting design by Jeremy Cunningham (from Ric Mountjoy's original), and sound design by Beth Lake (from Andrew Johnson's original). Matt DiCarlo is the current director.
