Mischief Theatre’s West End production of Magic Goes Wrong has delayed its return to London’s Vaudeville Theatre until October 2021.

This feels out of step with current coronavirus advice on this particular production until social distancing can be relaxed."

Jonathan Sayer, company director of Mischief, said: "After touring Mischief Movie Night to a host of socially distanced outdoor venues over the summer we’re so thrilled and lucky to be taking this next step in theatre and the West End’s recovery. We can’t wait to get back on stage indoors and provide some much needed cheer over the festive period."

The Play That Goes Wrong follows an amateur dramatic society as they stage their annual production. But as the title suggests, anything that can go wrong does, with the accident prone thespians battling on against the odds to get to their final curtain call. Speaking about the play reopening, producers Kenny Wax and Stage Presence Ltd. said: “The Play That Goes Wrong has been a tonic for people’s spirits since first appearing seven years ago… Laughter has the power to bring people together across all divides, reduces tensions and produces joy. And we know how lacking all of those have been these challenging past six months.” As well as reopening in the West End, The Play That Goes Wrong will play a Christmas season at Theatre Royal Bath. The Play That Goes Wrong is now booking from 19 November until 2 May 2021 at the Duchess Theatre, London.
