My Three Angels
By Sam and Bella Spewack
Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc. Directed by Jo-Ann McCabe It is Christmas Eve in French Guiana where paroled convicts from the local penal colony move about with relative freedom and mix with the bourgeois inhabitants of the local town. We soon realize, however, that it isn’t entirely clear who the real criminals are. In many cases it is simply a matter of who has been caught and prosecuted and who hasn't. My Three Angels takes a warm, witty and romantic look at our moral convictions. We are taught that good must triumph over evil, but are we always sure which is which? Does the end justify the means? These are questions you will have to decide for yourself as our fallen angels intervene in the lives of a family hovering on the brink of financial disaster. Armed with an unusual skill set which includes theft, forgery, extortion and murder, our improbable heroes remind us of what is truly important: love, life, and family. This is an old fashioned and wonderfully crafted fable to awaken your holiday spirit.
