The film script of It’s A Wonderful Life was written in 1946 by Frank Kapra based of a short story The Greatest Gift, by Philip Van Doren Stern. The film became one of the most beloved in American cinema, and has become traditional viewing during the Christmas season. It tells the story of George Bailey, a man who has given up his dreams to help others, and whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers). Clarence shows George all the lives he has touched, and how different life in his community of Bedford Falls would be if he had never been born.
Joe Landry wrote this staged radio play adaptation of the film script in 2006, and it has performed to great acclaim in the USA and UK. In Joe Landry’s version, which stays faithful to Kapra’s original, we see the story told by a company of radio actors in a live studio broadcast, complete with live foley sound effects.

“We watched this performance at the Taliesin Arts Centre in Swansea – what a treat! Thoroughly fantastic and superbly performed by all the actors. It was so enjoyable from start to finish and I could have happily sat there for hours on end watching it. Well done to all – the time, skill and effort you put in paid off. Congratulations on a ‘wonderful’ show. Thanks for doing such brilliant shows. We’ve been to several of now and we have loved every one.”
