Festive chaos comes to Lowry with Mischief’s new production of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong opening next month

With only 78 days until Christmas the countdown is on until Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind smash hits including The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About Spies, premieres its new production of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at Lowry, Salford next month.

The production runs in Salford from Sunday 2^nd to Saturday 8^th November, ahead of a West End festive run at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue and a UK tour running until March 2026.

Turning this Christmas classic into chaos are:  Matt Cavendish as Max, Daniel Fraser as Chris, Sasha Frost as Sandra, Chris Leask as Trevor, Henry Lewis as Robert, Jonathan Sayer as Dennis, Greg Tannahill as Jonathan, and Nancy Zamit and Dumile Sibanda will share the role of Annie.  The understudies are: Alex Bird, Will Bishop, Siobhan Cha Cha, Colm Gleeson and Ashley Tucker.

This brand-new Goes Wrong comedy brings the chaos and humour of the Cornley Amateur Drama Society back to the stage. Written by original Mischief members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, the production also marks the return of director Matt DiCarlo, following critical claim for his West End directorial debut with The Comedy about Spies.

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?

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is produced by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence.

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at The Lowry Salford Sunday 2^nd to Saturday 8^th November. Tickets are available here.
