It's a Wonderful Life

"Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings."

Christmas 1946. Bedford Falls. 

Down-on-his-luck George Bailey feels life has passed him by and he's at the end of his rope. But when a charming guardian angel pays him a visit, George discovers what his beloved town would look like had he never existed.

Curious about Curious Parade? 
 
Curious Parade is a brand-new theatre company founded by director Simon H. West, whose career spans more than thirty years. Built on the belief that theatre begins with curiosity, Curious Parade creates imaginative, engaging live performances for families and adults alike. 

Peter Brook famously wrote that if one person walks across an empty space while someone else is watching, that's enough for an act of theatre to begin. We'd like to think that if two people walk across together... well, that's a parade. A curious one, at that. 

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
