It's A Wonderful Life

The theatre is currently being turned into the American town of Bedford Falls as we gear up to present the UK STAGE PREMIERE of James W Rodgers' adaptation of the immortal film classic IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

With a specially-written prologue by The Playhouse's own John Morgan, director Caroline Young has finally managed, after several years of planning and wishing, to bring everything together and provide a touch of magic with which to start off the festive season.

The production opens this Thursday, 17 December, at 7.45 pm, with additional performances at this time on Friday 18, Saturday 19, Monday 21, Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 December. There is also a Christmas Eve performance commencing at 7.00 pm. Tickets are £9 (full price), £7 (students and OAPs) and £5 (under-16s).

Stealing the infamous (almost) final line: "every time a bell rings, an angel gets his tickets"... And at the rate the phone is ringing, I wouldn't leave it any longer to get yours! Christmas Eve is almost sold out and two of the other performances aren't too far behind.
