“The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong”

Co-directed by seniors Nan Besse and Sam Zelazo, “The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong” had audiences laughing from the very first scene. This one-act version of the original follows the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to stage a production of a 1920s murder mystery. As the title suggests, the cast faces much adversity as everything that can go wrong does. Cast members misplace props, forget lines, miss cues and break character, all an intentional part of the one-act.
Besse and Zelazo had the audience laughing non stop. Though the message of Besse and Zelazo’s one-act feels much lighter than others that evening, it still holds much importance for the audience. As actors took their final bows, the message that humor is essential and even if everything goes wrong, there is still much to be valued were held strongly in the hearts of audience members.
