Get ready for a festive theatrical treat with this unique take on Charles Dickens' timeless classic, A Christmas Carol. From Mischief Theatre, the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, this production promises to put the bah ha ha in bah humbug!
The Cornley Drama Society is determined to stage A Christmas Carol. In theory, it’s a heartwarming tale of redemption. In practice, it’s a ticking time bomb of collapsing sets, forgotten lines, and special effects that are more "catastrophe" than "Christmas magic." Will Scrooge learn the error of his ways? Or will the Ghost of Christmas Past end up trapped in a malfunctioning harness for the entire second act?
Mischief Theatre’s first hit, and longest running comedy, The Play That Goes Wrong, started life as a small, low-budget production in a London pub (The Old Red Lion) before gaining momentum and transferring to the West End. It went on to win an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2015!
In true Mischief Theatre fashion, expect a series of hilarious blunders, missed cues, and theatrical calamities that turn this classic story into a comedic spectacle. Will Scrooge find redemption amidst the chaos? Who knows? That’s half the fun. Experience the festive mayhem to find out!
*The show time is 19:30 at the Apollo Theatre and there will be free time in London before the show for some shopping or to get a bite to eat.
