GOD BLESS HELP US, EVERYONE

The Cornley Amateur Drama Society are back with tidings of chaos and joy, ready to tackle the Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol.

Do not miss another Christmas catastrophe from Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.

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?

Enjoy a festive slice of pure escapism at the worst production in Christmas past, present, and yet to come! Don’t be a Scrooge, book now.

Seven actors lay stacked on top of each other horizontally, peeking out from behind an open door. Only their surprised faces are visible outside of the door frame. Across from them, a man in a suit has one arm outstretched, having just opened the door.
