It's a Wonderful Life


Experience the classic Christmas story in York this festive season.

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 his 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 film, Mary Elliott Nelson’s magical reimagining of It’s a Wonderful Life is brought to life on stage by a community cast and creative team.

Join us in Bedford Falls this Christmas for this joyful tale of love, hope and community.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

Adapted by Mary Elliot Nelson

Directed by Eija Gibson
