WHAT A BUNCH OF DICKENS
The Cornley Amateur Drama Society return with tidings of chaos and joy, ready to tackle the Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is ‘a Dickensian disaster to savour’ (Guardian), returning to the West End following a sold out run at London’s Apollo Theatre. Do not miss this ‘irresistible Christmas treat’ (WhatsOnStage) from Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.
The Cornley crew 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 yet again.
Enjoy a festive slice of pure escapism at the worst production in Christmas past, present and yet to come!

Original Mischief members to star in Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
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.
