My Three Angels

The Play

My Three Angels is a comedy written by Samuel and Bella Spewack, and based on the French play La Cuisine Des Anges by Albert Husson. It takes place in the family Ducotel's living room at the back of a general store in Cayenne, French Guiana, 1910. Its style is clearly melodramatic, in the fun sense of the word.

THE STORY: The story takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas day where the temperature has graciously dropped to 105 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, 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 convictstwo of them murderers, the third a swindlertake 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.
