Don’t worry , it’s not Christmas just yet! But… who says it has to be Christmas to indulge in a Christmas tradition?
Every year people make the annual trip to the cinema to see the iconic story of idealist George Bailey, whose dreams look set to be dashed by small-town scandal and big business.
We watch as alone on a bridge, he decides that everyone would be better off without him… or would they? It falls to hapless guardian angel, Clarence, to try and save him.
This year – The Atkinson is presenting Seabright Productions’ new stage production that premiered to excellent reviews in London last year.
The magical story of Frank Capra’s iconic film is retold as a radio play, complete with sound effects created live on stage. This loving tribute to the golden era of the wireless is a fresh take on a heartwarming and timely classic. ‘Inspired!
A lovely adaptation that’s both cleverly witty and movingly heartfelt.’ ★★★★ The Stage
‘Critic’s Choice’ The Guardian Guide
‘Deftly directed by Guy Retallack… sensationally executed.’ ★★★★ The Londonist
‘Glorious, entertaining and heart-warming. An absolute winner.’ ★★★★★ South London Press
