Welcome to December! I just celebrated my 42nd birthday – so thank you so much for all the wonderful wishes.
As the holiday season stumbles upon us, I've been working my way around the globe and feeling pretty cozy right now in the UK. After all, it is the home of delicious Yorkshire Pudding, putting on the kettle for tea at any given time, and gleefully watching countless episodes of Monty Python - as we must always look on the bright side of life.
So if you’re like me, then it won’t be a surprise when I tell you that A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, created by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, while directed by Richard Boden and Adam Meggido, should definitely be added to your list.
During this Christmas special, the Mischief Theatre Company are at it again, proving that The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are way in over their heads. They’ve been banned from ever appearing on the BBC again. To our delight, they are not giving in to such rubbish, and decide to hijack a live production of Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.
In theatre, thespians rule the stage. While forgetting their lines, stagehands awkwardly appearing in scenes, dodging falling props, it’s clear that there can be only one – only one Scrooge, so someone needs to be incapacitated!
It was a great opportunity to be able to see this and share my thoughts! The cast was absolutely brilliant and I was in stitches from the performances by the Henry’s (Lewis & Shields), Jonathan Sayer, Derek Jacobi, and more. There is no shortage of puns, physical comedy and just all sorts of shenanigans that will leave audiences wondering who spiked the egg nog.
No spoilers, but if you don’t watch this, I am telling you, yule be sorry.
