My
Three Angels MY
THREE ANGELS is a completely captivating comedy concerning a gentle
but impoverished family - The Dulays. Life has dumped an overdose of
worries in their lap. Set in hot and steamy French Guiana the shop they
manage is in debt and a monstrous relative who owns it is on his way
to evict them. But three kindly souls come to their rescue. The trouble
is this trio of fairy godfathers are convicts from the local penal colony
who have been hired to mend the shop roof. These beguiling scoundrels
immediately make it their benevolent business to settle the Dulays affairs
and in doing so redeem themselves as real life angels. This delightful
play, which was also a successful film starring Humphrey Bogart, will
send you home with a glowing heart. |
