My Three Angels
is set in
French Guiana, a region where on Christmas day the temperature has
graciously dropped to 104 degrees. Three convicts are employed as
roofers by a family whose roof is in desperate need of maintenance.
On the way from France is an evil-minded cousin, eager to oust the
father of the family from his business, and his cold-blooded nephew, who
is jilting the father's daughter for an heiress.
The three convicts—two of them murderers, the third a swindler—take the
visitors on. All three have warm hearts and are passionate
believers in true justice. Possessing every criminal art and penal
grace, they set matters right and in doing so redeem themselves as real
life angels to the grateful family.
My Three Angels is a comedy classic
that was also the basis for the hit film comedy, We're No Angels,
starring Sean Penn and Robert DeNiro.
Directed by Robin Armstrong. November 29 - December 9, 2007. Black Box
Theatre.
