Fever's show
The Play That Never Starts: A Theatre Show
๐ญ A meta-comedy where the actors try (and fail) to get the show on the road.
Highlights
๐ฌ A hilariously self-aware comedy where the show derails before it even begins
๐ Perfect for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong, Noises Off, and dry British wit
๐๏ธ A fast-paced, fourth-wall-breaking mess โ in the best possible way
๐ค Featuring a cast of loveable disasters: a nervous understudy, a missing prop master, and a director on the verge
The Show
Welcome to The Play That Never Starts, a theatrical train wreck by design. The curtain rises on whatโs supposed to be a serious drama โ but nothing goes to plan. From missed cues and misplaced wigs to spontaneous rewrites and stagehands caught in the spotlight, the cast is doing everything they can to keep the show from falling apartโฆ but failing spectacularly. Think Fawlty Towers meets Waiting for Godot, with a twist of glitter and chaos. If youโve ever worked in theatre โ or just love watching things go terribly wrong โ this show was written for you.
