LESSONS POWERED BY LAUGHTER
LESSONS POWERED BY LAUGHTER
The Cornley Amateur Drama Society return with tidings of chaos and joy, ready to tackle the Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.
Do not miss the festive hijinks 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 Ebenezer Scrooge. Will Cornley finally change their ways, or will their misfortunes wreak havoc yet again.
