    The performances will feature live FSL interpretation by Filipino Sign Language interpreters and Deaf consultants from the De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde Center for Education Advancement of the Deaf (CEAD) and School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies – Interpreting Education Program (SDEAS-IEP).

    The initiative builds on GMG Productions’ ongoing efforts to expand access to international theatre productions in the Philippines through partnerships with members of the Deaf community and sign language professionals.

    Carlos Candal, Founder and CEO of GMG Productions, said:

    “Live theatre should be experienced by everyone. It is a shared experience, a chance to laugh together, feel something together, and be transported by the power of a story and the people bringing it to life. Accessibility is an important part of making that possible.

    We are very happy to offer FSL-interpreted performances of The Play That Goes Wrong and Heathers the Musical, and to welcome more members of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community into the theatre. The Play That Goes Wrong is a joyful, wonderfully chaotic show, while Heathers the Musical brings its own bold, darkly comic energy to the stage. We hope audiences can experience the humour, energy, and theatrical magic of both productions together.

    We are grateful to the Deaf consultants and FSL interpreters helping us make these performances possible. Their expertise and collaboration are helping us create a more inclusive experience for everyone.”

    A dedicated orchestra seating section will be available for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing audiences and their companions, with clear sightlines to both the stage and the interpreters. Tickets may be purchased using the promo code ACCESSSEATS to receive 20% off. Patrons with a valid PWD ID may also avail of the standard PWD discount at physical TicketWorld outlets.

    THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

    GMG Productions, in association with Mischief Worldwide Ltd., presents THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, described by audiences around the world as one of the funniest live shows ever created. This brilliantly choreographed slapstick comedy delivers one hilarious mishap after another, all with impeccable comic timing.

    What begins as an amateur theatre company’s earnest attempt to stage a classic murder mystery quickly unravels into complete mayhem. As collapsing sets, disappearing props, forgotten lines and perfectly timed mishaps derail the performance, every theatrical disaster becomes comedy gold, delivering nonstop laughter through masterful physical comedy and spectacular chaos.

    THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG runs November 6–22, 2026, at The Theatre at Solaire, with tickets available via TicketWorld. Its FSL-interpreted performance takes place on November 13, 2026.
