Christmas Carol Goes Wrong follows the Cornley Amateur Drama Society as they attempt to stage Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Their production is disrupted by miscommunication, set delays, missing actors and disagreements over who should play Ebenezer Scrooge.

The show is written by original Mischief members Henry Lewis, Sayer and Shields, and directed by Matt DiCarlo. The creative team also includes set designer Libby Todd, costume designer Roberto Surace, lighting designer David Howe, and sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite.

The production premiered at the Apollo Theatre in London in 2025. It is produced by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence.
