About the show

Experience the festive chaos as the Cornley Amateur Drama Society disastrously attempts to stage the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge.​ Book tickets on BritishTheatre.com.

What is A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong about?

A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is the latest festive offering from Mischief Theatre, the company behind The Play That Goes Wrong. The Cornley Amateur Drama Society attempts to stage Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol with predictably catastrophic results. Sets collapse, cues are missed, actors forget their lines, and technical disasters pile upon each other as the well-meaning but hopelessly incompetent company tries desperately to tell the story of Scrooge's redemption.

Why see A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong?

Mischief Theatre have perfected the art of theatrical disaster comedy, and this production applies their signature formula to the festive season with gleeful abandon. The physical comedy is meticulously choreographed to look spontaneously disastrous, and the timing of the cast is remarkable. It is laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish and suitable for the whole family. At £44, it is excellent value for a West End Christmas show.
