In our American culture IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE has become almost as
familiar as Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The story is a natural for a
stage adaptation: the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the
small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have
been quashed by family obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel
has to descent on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind
him—by showing him what the world would have been like had he never
been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life.
This faithful
adaptation has all your favorite characters: George and Mary Hatch,
Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like
villain, Mr. Potter. This fine dramatization not only celebrates the
faith of the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of
life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one's family and
community will be rewarded.
