It's A Wonderful Life

Royal Court Liverpool Show Dates: 12 Nov 2026-28 Nov 2026

Welcome to Bedford Falls!

Christmas Eve, 1945… George Bailey, a down-on-his-luck banker believes life has passed him by, and he’s at the end of his rope. But when his guardian angel, Clarence, appears, George is astounded to witness what life could be like without all of the good deeds he’s done. Maybe it’s a wonderful life, after all?

Inspired by the 1946 Frank Capra film of the same name, Old Fruit Jar Productions’ enchanting adaptation returns to Liverpool’s Royal Court for it’s third time running. This feel-good story is a great example of just how valuable the gift of life is, and how large of an impact even one person can have on the lives of so many others.

Written by Mary Elliott Nelson

Directed by Alex King

Produced by Old Fruit Jar Productions and Liverpool’s Royal Court.
