Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
Only a Scrooge would miss Christmas Carol Goes Wrong play tickets
God help us, everyone: the chaotic Christmas Carol Goes Wrong play is back in the West End this festive season, and it’s going to cause mayhem! This “Dickensian disaster to savour” (The Guardian) is a real cracker of a show from Mischief Theatre, the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, The Comedy About Spies, and The Goes Wrong Show. It plays at Wyndham’s Theatre for a strictly limited season, so don’t let it be a ghost of Christmas past – get your tickets now.
The Cornley Amateur Drama Society is full of good tidings as they plan to stage A Christmas Carol, but things – as always – don’t go to plan. Bickering cast members, missing set pieces, and a battle over who gets to be Scrooge… will it be a Christmas cracker, or another total turkey for the mayhem-prone troupe?
Mischief Theatre’s Christmas Carol Goes Wrong play is the latest in a string of slapstick hits for the theatre company, which rose to fame with The Play That Goes Wrong – the West End’s long-running comedy at the Duchess Theatre. Their other work includes The Comedy About a Bank Robbery and Peter Pan Goes Wrong, as well as The Goes Wrong Show on the BBC. With physical humour, hilarious mishaps and good old-fashioned laughs, they’ve become the most popular comedy creators on stage.
In 2015, Mischief won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, and their take on A Christmas Carol first aired on BBC One in 2017 before being adapted onto the stage. It is co-written by Mischief Theatre founders Henry Lewis, Henry Shields and Jonathan Sayer.
Will the ghosts appear on time? Will Tiny Tim be cured? Find out with tickets to a show that’ll have you full of festive cheer… unless you’re a total Scrooge yourself! The Christmas Carol Goes Wrong play is in London for a limited season this year.
