Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is a comedy play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields of the Mischief Theatre company, based on their 2017 BBC television special.

Premise

Similar to Mischief Theatre's Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Play That Goes Wrong, the fictitious Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempts to stage an adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol which is repeatedly ruined by the amateurism and personal rivalries of the cast and crew.

Production

The play, directed by Matt DiCarlo and premiered at The Lowry, Salford on 2 November 2025, before touring the UK until 1 March 2026. The tour includes a Christmas season at the Apollo Theatre in London's West End from 6 December 2025 to 26 January 2026. Casting was announced on 12 July 2025 including members of the original Mischief Theatre company.
