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.
