Charles Haversham! I'm sorry, this must've given you all a damn
shock... The original version of the global hit play created by
Mischief. After benefiting from a large and sudden inheritance, the

the production back on track before the final curtain falls? This
one-act version of Mischief's world famous The Play That Goes Wrong

Since then, the expanded two-act version has taken the world by
storm and has been performed in over 35 countries across 5
continents, winning multiple awards including the WhatsOnStage and
Olivier Award for Best New Comedy plus a Tony and Drama Desk Award
for Best Scenic Design of a Play. This edition features the
original one-act edition of the play that's perfect to be enjoyed
on the page as well as in performance. A true global phenomenon, it
is guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter.
In twelve graceful, sensual stories, William Henry Lewis traces
the line between the real and the imaginary, acknowledging the
painful ghosts of the past in everyday encounters. Written in a
style that has been acclaimed by our finest writers, from Edward P.
Jones and Nikki Giovanni to Dave Eggers, "I Got Somebody in
Staunton" is one of the most highly praised literary events to take
on contemporary America.
In the title story, a young professor befriends an enigmatic
white woman in a bar along the back roads of Virginia, but has
second thoughts about driving her to a neighboring town as his
uncle's stories of lynchings resonate through his mind. Another
tale portrays a Kansas City jazz troupe's travels to Denver, where
they hope to strike it big. Meanwhile, a man in the midst of
paradise must decide whether he will languish or thrive.
"With I Got Somebody in Staunton" Lewis has lyrically and
unflinchingly chronicled the lives of those most often
neglected.
