Christmas Carol Goes Wrong Brings Festive Chaos To Manchester
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong comes to Manchester this month, playing the Opera House from Tuesday, November 17 to Saturday, November 21, 2026.
The show comes from Mischief, the company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, whose productions turn theatrical disaster into an art form. This time they take on Dickens, sending an accident prone company of actors into A Christmas Carol, where Scrooge, the ghosts and the whole Christmas story fight to survive missed cues, collapsing scenery and a cast that can do nothing right.
The Manchester run brings members of the original Mischief company to the Opera House, one of the grand old rooms of the city’s theatre scene, right at the start of the festive season.
We Speak Media will be watching the Manchester run closely, and we will bring readers the full story from the show.

The Philharmonia Orchestra performs Brahms’ A German Requiem at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday, November 29, 2026, with Simone Young conducting.
Diana Damrau and Gerald Finley are the soloists, two of the most admired singers in the world in a work that asks everything of its voices. Brahms wrote the Requiem not for the dead but for the living who mourn them, and in the Royal Festival Hall, with a cast of this calibre, it becomes one of the great concert occasions of the season.
The Philharmonia’s Southbank Centre residency puts the orchestra at the centre of London’s musical life, and a Requiem with singers of this standing is the kind of night the hall was built for.
We Speak Media will be watching the London concert closely, and we will bring readers the full story from the performance.
