Production Enrichment is going back to its dramatic roots to present an ambitious, dazzling and exciting stage version of the Frank Capra Christmas Classic , ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
Up there with ‘The Wizard of Oz’, as one of the most loved Christmas films, it tells the tale of George Bailey, who after wishing he had never been born, is sent an angel to make him realise the full value of life and what he means to the people of the small American town, in which he lives, Bedford Falls.
This faithful, fast moving stage adaptation features a large cast, fluid set changes and scores of beefy, character roles. It's not only a joyful Christmas tale, it is a gorgeous love story between George and Mary Bailey, a vivid portrait of the Greatest Generation, a descent into the darkest hour of a man trapped by circumstance and a powerful meditation on what makes a meaningful life.
The production features an eclectic and interesting range of characters, with an uplifting Christmas feeling to send you off into the chill of the night, with a smile on your face and a skip in your heart. It is suitable for all ages and runs at approximately 90 minutes with an interval.
The performances, in the Prospect Theatre, are on Wednesday 9 December, Thursday 10 December and Friday 11 December. Curtain up is at 7.30pm.
Tickets are priced at £7 standard ticket and £6 concession and are available now.
