The feel-good story of It’s a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, a small town Building and Loan clerk who, on a cold Christmas Eve in 1946, believes the world would have been better if he had never been born. Salvation comes in the form of a dotty angel-in-waiting. The play is given an exciting twist by being told in the evocative setting of a radio studio with songs, charming old-fashioned radio commercials and period jingles.

The Watsons
Austin adrift and awry!
by Laura Wade
directed by Joan Bryans

Emma Watson is 19 and new in town. She’s been cut off by her rich aunt and dumped back in the family home. Emma and her sisters must marry, fast. If not, they face poverty, spinsterhood, or worse: an eternity with their boorish brother and his awful wife. Luckily there are plenty of potential suitors to dance with, from flirtatious Tom Musgrave to castle-owning Lord Osborne, who’s as awkward as he is rich. So far so familiar. But there’s a problem: Jane Austen didn’t finish the story. Who will write Emma’s happy ending now?

Based on her incomplete novel, this sparklingly witty play, appearing in North America for the first time, looks under the bonnet of Jane Austen and asks: What can characters do when their author abandons them?
