Good evening. I'm Inspector Carter. Take my case. This must be Charles Haversham! I'm sorry, this must've given you all a damn shock. After benefitting from a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on producing an ambitious 1920s murder mystery. They are delighted that neither casting issues nor technical hitches currently stand in their way. However, hilarious disaster ensues and the cast start to crack under the pressure, but can they get the production back on track before the final curtain falls? The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play, conceived and performed by award-winning company Theatre Mischief. It was first published as a one-act play and is published in this new edition as a two-act play.

High drama and some low comedy in these two one-act plays by novelist Anne M. Holmes. In "That's Nice" we meet Charlotte and Emily, two senior editors at Chatsworth & Son, a publishing house once known for the quality of its authors. Now Charlotte is stuck with the tortured prose of Greville Marshall and Emily must cope with the fragrant euphemisms of Millicent Carruthers. They hide out in the staff lunch room trying to figure out how they can wash their hands of these hacks. "An Unhelpful Complication" is set in a council flat in south London in 1992, where recently appointed Tory cabinet minister Sir Ambrose Carrick is reunited with war correspondent Maggie McArthur, a woman he first met a world away and a lifetime ago. Both have secrets they will protect at any cost. This is a battle of wits. Who will still be standing at the end?
