A theatre in Staveley is set to bring one of the greatest Christmas films to life in a new production.

The Staveley Roundhouse will host performances of a radio play based on 'It's a Wonderful Life' from 1946.

The shows will commence on December 12 until December 15, with a start time every night of 7:30pm.

The reimagining of the Frank Capra movie is set in a radio station in the 1940s, with a sound FX artist and actors playing over 30 characters making the story more vibrant than ever.

George Bailey is a generous man who becomes too downcast to continue living.

Can Clarence, his guardian angel, show George what life would be like if he hadn’t been born and will George have a change of heart and understand the true spirit of the Christmas?

You can get your tickets from the Staveley Theatre website.
