Can anyone tell me if there is a play version of "It's A Wonderful Life?" I've seen a musical version, but I'm wanting something faithful to the 1946 Frank Capra classic. I've heard it has been done, but can't locate it.

There is an adaptation by Joe Landry that is done in the style of 1940's radio play where a few actors play all the roles, complete with sound effects.

It is available through Playscripts, Inc.

There's also a script, adapted from the Capra film, available from Dramatic Publishing.
