Come celebrate the Christmas holidays with The Bridge House Players, as they whisk you away to Bedford Falls and the extraordinary world of George Bailey.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE takes place one magical Christmas Eve, as George Bailey, a family man, faces the biggest decision of his life. Growing up George always longed to escape Bedford Falls, a small provincial American town, to see the world, build great buildings and generally make the world a better place – time and time again however, these hopes of escape and adventure are dashed by his sense of duty to his friends and family.

However on on this special day events take an unpredictable turn which leaves George Bailey wondering whether life would be better for everyone if he had never been born – would his friends and family be better off without him? With time running short, it falls to one hapless angel, Clarence (Angel 2nd Class), to try and save him, by showing him what his world would have become without him in it!

Set in an IBC radio studio din the late1940s, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, Frank Capra’s cinematic classic, originally starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, is given a magical treatment in this unique period setting!

Be transported away to Bedford Falls as our actors play dozens of characters, produce the sound effects, and bring this beloved holiday treat to life before your very eyes, helping you to fall in love with this classic story ~ all over again.

A show guaranteed to put everyone in the spirit of the season whether you’re aged aged 10 or 210!

The show is the UK Premiere, and is directed by Guy Retallack whose other work at the Bridge House includes the highly successful Macbeth and last years sell out Christmas sensation A Christmas Carol.
