The favourable reviews here (is it a cabal?) are mysterious indeed. If you really want to see this you can do so on the rarefilmm website, but don't waste your time. It is coarse, stupid, amateurish, and not at all funny. The writing is one cliche after another, and the actors seem to think it is extremely comic to shout, contort their faces, and windmill their arms about. If you want to see a funny show about a play that goes badly wrong, see Doubting Thomas, with Will Rogers. There is also, of course, Noises Off, but I don't think the movie is very good. With a good cast and direction, in the theatre, it is dangerously hilarious.
