Mischief Theatre return with their new school-themed show!
Why see Groan Ups?
Back to School!
From the minds behind bonkers West End and Broadway smash The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery comes this brand new show inspired by those halcyon days spent at school. It's an anarchic look at the frankly hilarious hurricane of emotions that is adolescence, from crushes to spots and more.
The company's first new play since 2016's 'Bank Robbery, Groan Ups stars the original Olivier Award-winning cast who trace the journey of a group of school mates from ages six to 30, exploring how our characters and connections form over time. Fusing their trademark slapstick style with just a dash of seriousness, it's a trip down memory lane you might just recognise!

Laughter, True Friendship, Hamstercide
Groan Ups is Mischief Theatre's best play to date. It's all about the evolution of friendships that begin at school. All the cast excelled. The play came to boil the longer it went on, as all good comedies do, and was also tinged with a touch of sadness and hamstercide. It would be unfair to single out any cast member because they were all brilliant. If you're looking for a play to see in the West End this autumn, this is the one. You will want to see it again, it's that good.
