Went to see The Play That Goes Wrong last night and it was a) amazing and b) great at producing completely different reactions to men in myself and my bi friend

Saw Peter Pan Goes Wrong again, best decision ever. Wish it could stay on Broadway.

#seeing this has made me go down the rabbit hole of everything mischief theater #peter pan goes wrong #mischief theater

when it says felix is england's youngest graduate do we think that means high school or college

#I always assumed it was high school but I was looking earlier this week and apparently in england they don't rly celebrate/recognize #high school graduation #so now im like. does felix fathom have a college degree #and if so what subject is it possibly in #mischief? chess? theater?? #felix is honestly a mystery to me so if any felix enjoyers want to explain what is going on with him at all that would be much appreciated #ml #anna rambles

my favorite hits in ppgw

the scissors — if you didn’t know, chris uses a pair of scissors to cut his tie. the scissors are then put into the dresser, until nana is unable to get a spoon (due to being stuck) so max grabs the scissors as a replacement. when he grabs them, he holds the bottom half of them — the sharp half. chris does the same when using them to feed the medicine to the actors, hiding the fact that these scissors have some sort of sticky end or pin that will hold them in his pants. when he feeds max, the struggle there (controlled by max) allows chris to adjust the grip to then stick the scissors right into his thigh— making it look like he stabbed himself.

doggy door — rather simple actually — robert throws up a hand against the chest to make the sound of his head hitting it (the knap) and reacts as if he hit it. the door itself is very thin so that it doesn’t hurt when it hits him. using trevor, gill, and francis as cover with their chainsaws and such, one of them removes the door to reveal the hole that looks as though it’s been sawed — the door is easily removable otherwise.

liza/mary dress — the liza dress is thrown on over mary’s, but more funny, the bit where the door opens on annie half changed is an extra costume change — the mary dress never needs to come off to put on the liza dress, so that bit is fully an addition to her changes to reveal the bra. ridiculous.

robert on fire — they use robert’s fall from the window as the shadow to put a fire-safe sleeve over one arm, which allows him to catch it on fire a moment later. a clever use of one gag to prep the next!

tree crush — the trees are both operated by hydraulics — they don’t actually fall but are lowered like a lever. the tree also doesn’t fully hit the ground — the body of it remains several inches above the floor. plus, lucy is off line for the hit, meaning she’s not even in the actual line of fire but rather upstage. she wiggles her foot underneath the tree after the initial hit.

missing hook — more noticeable onstage, but chris drops his hook during the increased fog at the end of the first forest scene, and trevor grabs it on his way out. sometimes it’s seamless and you don’t notice he’s lost it until the reveal, sometimes the hook rolls center stage.

boat hits — all simple but effective — the boat to the crotch hit dennis and annie take is to the inner thigh, plus dennis usually keeps one hand at the thigh to catch it early. the hit is given a slapstick sound from offstage to make the knap. both hits of the boat to the head are intercepted by a hand, and since the actors are upstage the audience doesn’t usually catch the hand coming up.

peter’s fall — it’s a dummy. you knew that.

world of make believe hits — again, a hand intercepts the bowl when max swings it, usually a solid foot from the face.

trevor’s hit — my personal favorite. the edge of the table is thinner than the rest (just in case) but again, trevor intercepts with his hand pretty much a foot from his face. if you watch he’s very focused on this hit because immediately after he has to dive forward for his upside down hang. also, after he’s pushed off while unconscious, he’s taken down just out of view in order to allow the next set change.

THE PIRATE SHIP — a lot here, but that boat is fully being balanced on a fulcrum the full time so carefully. kudos to everyone on that. seriously the fact that they have to keep the boat so it doesn't tip until the reveal that it CAN tip is wild.

lucy’s boat hit — when lucy’s rolls forward, she catches the rail with one hand and puts her head on her own hand, rather than actually smacking it. she’s also as in control as possible during the whole sequence — she pulls herself up and down with the rope there.

door hits — a few classics during the end sequence! we get the door open, the slapstick cue and then sandra (behind the door, fully safe and off line) falling into trevor

peter pan slap — some beautiful stage combat from sandra, who is slapping fully off line and the slapstick gives us that lovely slap for jonathan. just a classic.

captain hook’s launch — at one point chris is launched across the boat when it tips the other direction. and while the boat does tip, it’s the actor who does the jump to make it look more dramatic. he’s not actually launched.

francis’ final hit — another favorite: francis is fully offline of the chair. he’s crawling upstage of where the will be pushed in and often makes it further than where the chair stops, but takes the hit fully visually — he does have to intercept cause he’s not even on the same plane as the chair.

me approximately 3 days ago, deep in my goes wrong era, listening to the mischief makers pod and getting to ep 5: who the FUCK is harry kershaw

me today one full season of MMNI later: alright mischief makers pod tell me everything about my new best friend harry kershaw

#oh and side note? this podcast obliterated me #going from zero (aka barely remembering that the dude who plays chris bean is not the actual director of the show) #to 60 (knowing about his frankly questionable upbringing‚ brush with cancer‚ nursing era and illegitimate hot air ballooning activities) #was THE WILDEST hour of my life bar none #oh excuse me i forgot about his gaming and sci fi reading hobbies and his passion for medieval history #and this is ONE GUY. and they’re all so NICE #and i was FORCED to exit my goes wrong era and enter my general mischief era #who knew the only acting troupe in england with a wilder cast with weirder backstories than Cornley… is Mischief #my heroes #mischief theater #harry kershaw

And one final announcement, please note that the fire exits to the left and right of you are locked.

Trevor, Peter Pan Goes Wrong. My brother and I saw it on Broadway last night and OH MY HOLY GOD IN HEAVEN IT WAS THE FUNNIEST PLAY I'VE EVER BEEN TO.

thhhhinking about. an abandoned theater au.

#hear me out #it would take place in an old ornate theater #the Broadway wannabe type stage #with sun and moon taking heavy inspiration from the comedy/tragedy masks #they're more like marionette dolls #with strings instead of one big wire #ARE YOU LISTENING #y/n is an urban explorer who winds up at the 'abandoned' theater to scope the place out #and ends up discovering the Show of a lifetime #mischief and shenanigans ensue???????
