Bristol Student Gets Role In Dean College Play, 'The Play Goes Wrong'

BRISTOL, RI — A Bristol resident studying at Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts, has earned a role in the school's theater production of "The Play That Goes Wrong.:

Emily Marino of Bristol will place Chris/inspector in the Dean College production from Oct. 25 to Oct. 29.

An Olivier Award-winning comedy that is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes, "The Play That Goes Wrong" is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play that was conceived by the Mischief Theatre Company in London.

It's the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. There's an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, actors who trip over everything (including their lines) and lots of laughs for everyone in the audience. "The Play That Goes Wrong" is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service under license from Mischief Worldwide Ltd.

The Dean College production of "The Play That Goes Wrong" will take place at the Dr. Paula M. Rooney Student Center at Dean College, located at 109 West Central St. Show times are 7:30 p.m Wednesday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. matinée performances on Saturday and Sunday.
