IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: ON THE AIR

Play poster: It's a Wonderful Life

by Peter Church
directed by Sarah Rodgers with Chris Lam

The feel-good story of It’s a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, a small town Building and Loan clerk who, on a cold Christmas Eve in 1946, believes the world would have been better if he had never been born. Salvation comes in the form of a dotty angel-in-waiting. The play is given an exciting twist by being told in the evocative setting of a radio studio with songs, charming old-fashioned radio commercials and period jingles.

Directed by Diane Brown,
in association with Ruby Slippers Theatre.

Translated by Leanna Brodie, adapted from the screenplay Deux femmes en or by Claude Fournier and Marie-José Raymond. Translation commissioned by Ruby Slippers Theatre.

Violette is on mat leave. Florence is on sick leave. Both of them are moms, tied to their young children by invisible wires of steel… while their spouses barely notice they’re alive.
