It’s a Wonderful Life

Saturday 20 December 2025

Live on stage Gilroy Theatre returns this Christmas with another heart-warming story for the festive time of year. It’s a tale from Bedford Falls in small-town America, where George Bailey, a desperately frustrated businessman, is at the end of his tether. He feels that the world would have been a better place if he’d never been born, so an angel is dispatched from heaven to show him exactly what life would have been like for his family, friends and neighbours, had that been the case.

Adapted from the perennially popular Christmas fantasy film, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ reminds us that “no one is a failure who has friends” – a perfect message for the season of goodwill.
