Christmas Eve, 1946, Bedford Falls. Down-on-his-luck banker George Bailey feels life has passed him by, and he’s at the end of his rope.

But when George’s guardian angel pays him a visit, he’s amazed to discover what life in his beloved town would be like without him. Maybe it’s a wonderful life, after all?

Based on the critically acclaimed Frank Capra movie, Mary Elliott Nelson’s reimagining is a joyful story of love, hope and community.

A heartfelt adaptation of a much-loved classic to charm and delight audiences – at Christmas or any other time of the year!

Come along to have a go at reading, or just to listen!
