Review: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE at London Coliseum
By Stuart King Saturday, November 26 2022, 21:59
Philip Van Doreen Stern’s story The Greatest Gift formed the basis for Frank Capra’s 1946 classic piece of filmic Christmas whimsy IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE containing James Stewart’s searing portrayal of a small town American family man, who feels trapped in a humdrum existence and considers suicide on Christmas Eve. The movie has been beloved by generations, but does it make a good subject for operatic treatment?

Review: DINNER WITH GROUCHO at Arcola Theatre
