Grove Theatre Eastbourne
On Sunday, 6 December 2026, the Grove Theatre Eastbourne will host a live radio play production of It's A Wonderful Life. The story follows George Bailey, who feels his life has been unfulfilling, and Clarence, an angel who shows him the impact he's had on his community.
The production is presented in the style of a vintage radio broadcast, with actors playing multiple characters and sound effects created live on stage. This format allows the audience to witness the company's creativity as they bring the town of Bedford Falls to life.
The Grove's in-house company is behind this production, having previously presented successful shows such as Talking Heads, The Mirror Crack'd, and Jeeves & Wooster. The play is based on the short story The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern. Tickets are on sale with the button beside the article.
