Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

GOD HELP US, EVERYONE 

The Cornley Amateur Drama Society are back with tidings of chaos and joy, ready to tackle the Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol

A new production of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong smashes into the Festival Theatre direct from a strictly limited West End run. Don’t miss this guaranteed Christmas catastrophe from Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery

As the Cornley crew hilariously battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead, it’s sure to be a disastrous take on the much-loved classic Christmas story of Ebenezer Scrooge. Will Cornley finally change their ways, or will their misfortunes wreak havoc with hysterical consequences?

Enjoy a festive slice of pure escapism at the worst production in Christmas past, present and yet to come! Don’t be a Scrooge, book now.

Mischief production presented by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence.
