It's A Wonderful Life

One of the most heart-warming dramas of the 20th century comes to Blackpool Grand in October. Adapted from the classic Frank Capra film, It’s A Wonderful Life stops off for two days during its nationwide autumn tour to 33 venues.

It’s set in Bedford Falls, New York on Christmas Eve and tells the story of idealist George Bailey, whose dreams look set to be dashed by small-town scandal and big business.

The 1946 film starring James Stewart and Donna Reed is one of the most cherished and has become recognised as one of the best American films ever made.

The Bridge House production directed by Guy Retallack captures the story of Capra’s film retold as a radio play live on stage. Complete with sound effects, this tribute to the golden era of the wireless is a fresh take on a heart-warming classic.
