It’s A Wonderful Life

“Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings…” 

It’s Christmas Eve, Bedford Falls. 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 adaptation breathes new life into the heart-warming magic of the original story. 

It’s A Wonderful Life marks Old Fruit Jar Productions’ third visit to Liverpool’s Royal Court after the success of The Incident Room and Twelfth Night.
