Mischief, the multi-award winning theatre company that has just celebrated ten years of The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre, will be bringing a predictably chaotic Christmas season with their new festive stage show, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.

A short UK tour of the new production will start on 2nd November 2025 at the Lowry in Salford, and travel to the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre, the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff and Theatre Royal Bath before heading into London’s West End at the Apollo Theatre from 6th December until 25th January 2026.

It will then travel to Nottingham Theatre Royal, the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury, the Edinburgh Festival, the King’s Theatre in Glasgow and finally the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury where it ends in March 2026. 

About the show

The Cornley Amateur Drama Society are back with tidings of chaos and joy, ready 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. It’s sure to be a disastrous take on the much-loved classic Christmas story of Ebeneezer Scrooge. Will Cornley finally change their ways, or will their misfortunes wreak havoc yet again?

The Comedy About Spies is the latest Mischief production to hit the West End.

Co-founder of Mischief, Jonathan Sayer said: “We can’t wait to bring a new Goes Wrong title to the stage. It’s been tremendous fun revisiting the Cornely characters and we are looking forward to sharing the show with audiences over the festive period.”

Producers have said that groups coming to see the show can enjoy a festive slice of pure escapism by experiencing the worst production in Christmas past, present and yet to come!

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is produced by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence. The cast and full creative team will be announced in due course.

For the Christmas West End season, groups of 12 or more benefit from discounted rates to select shows. Group ticket rates are venue specific on the tour.
