Get ready for a very funny, and very different holiday show. My Three Angels puts a new spin on the holiday season and celebrates Christmas in a less than angelic manner. Set in tropical French Guiana on Christmas Eve in 1910, the story concerns the Ducotel family, Felix, Emilie and daughter Marie Louise, who, with great inefficiency manage a general store. The shop is deep in debt and on the way from France is the evil-minded cousin to evict the family from the business, accompanied by his cold-hearted nephew, who is jilting the daughter for an heiress back in Paris. Three convicts (two murderers and a swindler), on work release from Devil’s Island prison, who are hired to repair the shop roof, overhear the situation and conspire to assist the family. Drawing on their collective checkered pasts and criminal knowledge these benevolent scoundrels make it their business to set matters right. A respite from the usual holiday standards, the story gaily ripples along while the three convicts and the little family float through the turmoil. Consider it an early Devil’s food dessert before your traditional Christmas dinner. |
