Here’s the thing. On paper, Mischief’s The Play That Goes Wrong might not sound like much.
Theatre Review: Electric Rosary, Royal Exchange, Manchester
In these tentative, post-lockdown times, many theatre venues tend to programme safe, obvious, well-known shows, those crowd-pleasers that will guarantee them an audience.
