CHRISTMAS CAROL GOES WRONG brings tidings of chaos and joy as The Cornley Amateur Drama Society return and attempt to tackle the Charles Dickens ’ classic, A Christmas Carol. The Cornley crew battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead. This disastrous take on the much loved classic Christmas story of Ebenezer Scrooge is a festive slice of pure escapism.

CHRISTMAS CAROL GOES WRONG played to sell-out houses, when it premiered and disaster struck at The Apollo Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue last year.  It is written by original Mischief Members  Henry Lewis , Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and the production is directed by Matt DiCarlo , who also helmed the award-winning The Comedy About Spies which which recently completed its mission at London’s Adelphi Theatre and embarks on a tour in 2027.

The creative team joining the authors and director are set designer Libby Todd ,  Costume Designer Roberto Surace ,  lighting designer David Howe and sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite .
