It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is a stage play adaptation of Frank Capra's film classic. At the time of the film's initial release, it was popular for films to be adapted and performed live on the radio in front of a studio audience. This adaptation is set at a live radio broadcast in the late 1940s, with five actors playing all of the characters. Live sound effects and a live musical accompaniment is strongly suggested, as this follows traditions of the period. The actors have performed the sound effects and music accompaniment in previous productions, and although this was not typical of period radio, it provides an additional element.
