Mischief Theatre will present a new production of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong in the West End year, as part of a UK tour. The show heads to the Apollo Theatre from 6 December for a seven-week season.

Written Mischief original members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, the new comedy brings back the chaos of The Cornley Amateur Drama Society as they take on the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.

A televised version of the same concept was presented by the company in 2017, and featured David Suchet.

The Mischief team will also premiere their new play The Comedy of Spies at the Noël Coward Theatre next month, and recently celebrate 10 years of hit show The Play That Goes Wrong in the West End.

Jonathan Sayer said: "We can’t wait to bring a new Goes Wrong title to the stage. It's been tremendous fun revisiting the Cornley characters and we are looking forward to sharing the show with audiences over the festive period."
