#play that goes wrong

[smallbitterman]

“average show has 3 injuries per performance” factoid actually just statistical error. average show has 0 injuries per performance. Cornley Georg, who has 2 actors get knocked unconscious every 10 minutes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

i.e. Which actual story appeals the most? Which play would be most entertaining played completely sincerely and staged where nothing goes wrong? lil option choice explanation under the cut

I didn't include The Nativity because that's not like an original story that the writers came up with, and went with the closest to a full-length play from the drama festival (although personally I'd love to see the second act of Max's kitchen sink drama)

Chris Bean just told me off in the middle of a show

The Nutcracker (a travesty in 13 acts)

My 22k of utter CDS nonsense for the wonderful @cornleychristmaschaos challenge.

(apologies if you can't see it, it's locked down to registered users because I am old and set in my ways)

In my defense, I only meant to write one prompt, but then it sort of... snowballed.

When the character voice is so good it makes my real accent seem fake

*at intermission, chatting with the audience in-character. My voice for Trevor is a Cockney accent + a lower masculine register*

Lady: *waves me over* "Excuse me.... where are you from?"

Me, still in the accent: "Illinois." (Where I grew up, though I don't live there now)

Lady, shocked: "You're NOT!"

Me: "Come to the meet and greet after the show, you'll hear my actual voice. You won't guess it."

*later, after the show*

Lady: *comes up to me* "So let's hear it!"

Me, in my regular voice: "Here's my regular speaking voice. Pretty different, right?"

Lady: "..."

Lady: "You still sound like you're from somewhere else..."

Me: "Well, I don't know what to tell you, I grew up in Illinois."

Lady: "Hm."

Robert: I have some questions for you, Sam. If that is your real name

Max: (sadly) You know it’s not

i’m in awe- genuinely one of the best shows i’ve ever seen! massive shout out to the beautiful set, the little details like trevor’s tech booth posters to the intricate engineering of the collapse had me wowed. i laughed for two hours straight, every gag is so intricately planned and written to appeal to comedy fans and theatre nerds alike. so happy i’ve finally seen this hilarious, joyful show.

thank you mischief 🤍

maybe strange but we don't really like... use emojis, we often just type the idea of it like "crying emoji," "eyes emoji," whatever...

but anyway we've gotten into the habit of referring to this particular emoji: 🤔

as tptgw emoji

because, y'know

(id: play that goes wrong rehearsal picture of nancy zamit and jonathan sayer as annie and dennis, making a similar pose as the emoji)

(id: play that goes wrong promotional picture of henry lewis, henry shields, and jonathan sayer as robert, chris, and dennis, also making a similar pose)
