Experience the heartwarming classic as never before - the 1947 radio show brought to life on stage, starring 'Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed'!
In 1947, Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and a host of other actors broadcast a live radio play of the movie that they had made the previous year - 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
Over 75 years later, Sandyford Little Theatre Company proudly presents that same Christmas radio play, including radio advertisements of the era, sound effects and musical interludes.
It is the tale of George Bailey, who has so many problems that he is contemplating ending it all by jumping from a bridge into the icy waters below. Clarence, an angel, intercedes to show George what life would have looked like without him. But can he convince George to return to his family and understand that, no matter the difficulties, it really is a wonderful life?
'It's a Wonderful Life' - Movie Reviews
“A crisis in housing, a racist ruling class and a struggle against a hideous ego-plutocrat who names everything after himself – this 1946 classic still resonates.”
– The Guardian (2018)
“The film is a message in a bottle from 1946: Hold on, and don’t give up*… It’s a Wonderful Life* is one of the best films America has ever made about itself.”
- Vox (2016)
“In its 75 years of existence, It’s a Wonderful Life’s truth still holds up. Despite the omnipresent darkness of the last few years, we have seen time and time again that we are capable of helping each other. Our own lives touch so many lives – ‘No man is a failure who has friends’.”
- The Film Magazine (2021)

Is happiness ever worth the risk, and what price must we pay for wanting more? Brian Friel’s version of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya is clear, urgent, and heartbreakingly funny. Please purchase your ticket (tickets sold out in Nov.)

About:
The air shimmers with heat. Sonya and her Uncle Vanya grind through their days on a crumbling rural estate, their hopes shrinking with the land around them. When Sonya’s father, the Professor, returns with his restless young wife Elena, the fragile balance of the household splinters. Resentments flare, desires ignite, and long-buried frustrations rise to the surface. With devastating and violent consequences.

Enter a world of splendour, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur and glory! A world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment.

Winner of 10 Tony awards including Best Musical, Best Director, and Best Choreography Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. A celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and – above all – love, Moulin Rouge! is more than a musical; it is a state of mind.
