  “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings…” 

  Christmas Eve, 1946, Bedford Falls. Down-on-his-luck banker George Bailey feels life has passed him by, and he's at the end of his rope.

  But when George's guardian angel pays him a visit, he's amazed to discover what life in his beloved town would be like without him. Maybe it's a wonderful life, after all?

  Based on the critically acclaimed Frank Capra movie, Mary Elliott Nelson's reimagining is a joyful story of love, hope and community.

  An irrepressible fraudster known only as the Maniac is brought into Police Headquarters just as the officers are preparing for a judicial review of the recent ‘accidental’ death of a suspect in custody. Outwitting his captors, the Maniac dupes them into performing a farcical recreation of the incident, exposing the absurd corruption and terrifying idiocy at the heart of the system.

  This classic farce by Dario Fo and Franca Rame has been given an up to the minute reincarnation from award-winning writer Tom Basden. Eviscerating everyone from the Metropolitan Police to the metropolitan elite, this is a show that will leave audiences breathless! 

  Press quotes:
  ‘Wickedly funny… nothing less than brilliant… the audience is constantly in stitches… much cheaper than a therapy session and vastly more entertaining’
  Time Out

  ‘Pretty special… Basden’s script is packed with contemporary references, but among the comic zingers are weightier concerns about undercover police work and corruption…. It’s brilliantly executed… unforgettable’
  The Stage

  ‘Uproarious… a bomb-blast comedy… an institutionally funny play’
  Evening Standard
