We find him perched precariously on a bridge, on the verge of suicide. Enter Clarence, George’s guardian angel, who has not yet earned his wings. Clarence shows George what Bedford Falls would be if George had never been born! This beloved holiday-season drama is brought vividly to life in a stage adaptation of Frank Capra’s classic film of sacrifice and redemption in small-town America. Set in a radio station in the 1940s, with a live sound FX artist, this poignant drama features six actors portraying 25 unforgettable characters. P.S. - Clarence wins his wings. Irish Rep previously staged IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE in a 2012 production, directed by Moore, that The New York Times called “a small triumph.” The production was revived, by popular demand, for the 2013 holiday season. Full casting and creative team for IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE will be announced at a later date. The performance schedule for IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE is as follows: Wednesdays at 3pm and 8pm; Thursdays at 7pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 3pm. Exceptions: there will be no performance on Sunday, December 24; there will be an added performance on Tuesday, December 26 at 7pm. Tickets to IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE are available for $50.
