It’s A Wonderful Life

Adapted by Mary Elliott Nelson

‘Every time a bell rings an angel gets it’s wings’  

It’s Christmas Eve in Bedford Falls… 

Down-on-his-luck banker, George Bailey, feels life has passed him by. So when his guardian angel pays him a visit, George is amazed to discover what life in his beloved town would be like without him in it… Maybe it’d be a little less wonderful after all?

Based on the critically acclaimed 1946 Frank Capra movie of the same name this reimagining is brought to life in this heartwarming magical adaptation.
