You Can’t Take It With You
7 December 2011 - 14 January 2012
Join a joyful, mad and eccentric celebration of family this Christmas in our revival of the 1930s Broadway hit YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU in association with Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester. The bohemian Vanderhofs firmly believe that people should follow their dreams as long as it makes them happy, while the conventional Kirbys believe in the pursuit of money and the American Dream. But when granddaughter Alice falls in love with the Kirbys banker son, mayhem ensues as values and philosophy collide head-on.
