Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

No ratings yet

Wyndham's Theatre · London · From 2 January

The Cornley Amateur Drama Society attempts A Christmas Carol while delayed scenery, missing actors and a feud over the lead push everything off course.

First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.

Comedy
The story

Cornley Amateur Drama Society takes on Dickens’s Christmas story with its usual inability to keep a production under control. Set delays, absent actors and an argument over who gets to play the lead turn the adaptation into another chain of theatrical disasters, while the company tries to reach the end of Scrooge’s story without destroying the show around it.

In the room

A backstage disaster comedy built around a familiar Christmas tale, with technical delays, missing performers and company infighting repeatedly derailing the production.

Good fit if you like

theatrical mishaps, backstage comedy, Christmas stories and fictional amateur companies making everything worse.
