Check out the photos below!

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.
