Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is a comedy from Mischief, the company behind The Play That Goes Wrong. The Cornley Amateur Drama Society tackle Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, but the crew battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead.
It is written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and directed by Matt DiCarlo. Dave Hearn returns as Max, with James Akka, Adam Elliott, Matthew Howell, Aein Nasseri, Luke Pierre, Dumile Sibanda and Ashley Tucker in the cast. It is a limited six-week run at Wyndham's Theatre. The running time is about 2 hours 20 minutes including an interval, and it is suitable for ages 8+.
Original Mischief company members Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer will play Robert and Dennis from 14 January to 23 January 2027.
The cast features Dave Hearn as Max, Jay Olpin, Adam Elliott, Luke Pierre, Aein Nasseri, Dumile Sibanda, and Ashley Tucker, with James Akka and Matthew Howell as Dennis and Robert until 13 January, followed by Mischief co-founders Jonathan Sayer and Henry Lewis from 14 January.

Where to sit
At Wyndham's, the Royal Circle is the premium choice for a balanced view; watch the Row A rail and the overhang over the back row. The Stalls are the most immersive, but the front rows crane the neck and the back rows lose the top of the stage. The Grand Circle is good value in the centre but high and distant, and the Balcony is very high and steep. Seats run from £25 to £165.
