Get ready for a festive theatrical treat as the Cornley Amateur Drama Society returns with their unique take on Charles Dickens' timeless classic, A Christmas Carol. From Mischief Theatre, the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, this production promises to put the bah ha ha in bah humbug! Book your official tickets to A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong today!
The Cornley Drama Society is determined to stage A Christmas Carol. In theory, it’s a heartwarming tale of redemption. In practice, it’s a ticking time bomb of collapsing sets, forgotten lines, and special effects that are more "catastrophe" than "Christmas magic." Will Scrooge learn the error of his ways? Or will the Ghost of Christmas Past end up trapped in a malfunctioning harness for the entire second act?
In true Mischief Theatre fashion, expect a series of hilarious blunders, missed cues, and theatrical calamities that turn this classic story into a comedic spectacle. Will Scrooge find redemption amidst the chaos? Who knows? That’s half the fun. Experience the festive mayhem to find out!
Everyone, regardless of age, must have their own ticket to enter the theatre. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by and sat next to a ticketholder who is at least 18 years old. Children under the age of 4 will not be admitted. Latecomers may not be admitted until a suitable break in the performance. You may not bring food or drink purchased elsewhere.
Yes, it's 30 degrees outside. The sun is blazing, the parks are packed, and iced coffee is currently the nation’s lifeblood. But the West End is already bracing for snow, sleigh bells, and a festive fiasco of Dickensian proportions, as Christmas Carol Goes Wrong confirms its full cast.
The latest misadventure from the minds behind The Play That Goes Wrong, doesn’t open until 6 December, but over half the tickets for its seven-week run have already vanished.
Five original members of Mischief Theatre will reprise their now-iconic roles from The Play That Goes Wrong. Chris Leask returns as beleaguered stage manager Trevor, Henry Lewis as the booming and self-important Robert, Jonathan Sayer as nervous Dennis, Greg Tannahill as accident-prone Jonathan, and Nancy Zamit as the multi-tasking Annie - a role she will share with newcomer Dumile Sibanda.
