Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong tickets and regional UK dates

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is a comedy play from Mischief, the multi-award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, in which the fictional Cornley Amateur Drama Society attempts to stage A Christmas Carol. Co-writers Henry Shields, Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer all perform in the show, with Shields playing Chris Bean, the character who takes on the role of Scrooge.

What happens on stage

The Cornley crew's attempt at a Dickens adaptation is beset by miscommunication, delayed scenery, missing cast members and a feud over who should play the lead, all unravelling around the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. The comedy arises from the amateur company's increasingly doomed efforts to hold the production together.

The show runs for two hours and twenty minutes.
