Return to Bedford Falls this Christmas when, after a sell out run in 2024, Old Fruit Jar Productions comes back to the Royal Court with this heart-warming adaptation of a classic Christmas story.
Christmas Eve, 1945… George Bailey, a down-on-his-luck banker, believes life has left him behind. But when his guardian angel appears, George is astounded to witness what life could be like without all of the good deeds he’s done. Maybe life wouldn’t be as wonderful without him…
Inspired by the 1946 Frank Capra film of the same name, this enchanting stage adaptation breathes new life into the beloved story of hope, redemption, and the power of kindness!
Contains some distressing themes, but this production is suitable for all ages.
“A joyous watch… deserves to become a festive season staple in Liverpool for years to come!” North West End
“Moving, magical, and incredibly heart-warming… this is a wonderful reminder of what really matters” The Broken Spine
“A charming and welcome addition to the festive season!” Arts City Liverpool
“Takes a story that is already magical and moving, and turns it into something shared and wonderfully alive!” Adventures in Theatreland
