Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong takes Dickens’s classic and fills it with delightful chaos. The Cornley Drama Society attempts to stage A Christmas Carol, but misplaced props, missed cues andcollapsing sets send everything spiralling. The touring show mixes physical comedy with sharp timing, keeping the laughter steady while still delivering a warm seasonal spirit.

Created by Mischief Theatre, the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan Goes Wrong, this production continues their tradition of affectionate theatrical disaster. Christmas Carol Goes Wrong first appeared on stage in 2016 and has since become a firm festive favourite, even adapted for television by the BBC.

The show balances mayhem with heart, celebrating both the story of Scrooge and the resilience of performers when everything collapses around them. Touring performances bring the full technical spectacle to regional theatres, ensuring that each audience shares in the laughter of a company that never quite gets it right. It remains a joyful tribute to live theatre and holiday spirit alike.
