Two orphan girls in Victorian London desperately want a proper Christmas dinner.

Two females, and three non-gender (including the child). It’s then that the broken ornament turns into a real angel, who tries to deliver an important message. The ornament falls and breaks, angering the mom, who orders Riley to bed while she tries to drink away her sorrows. The cat - who can talk to the audience, but no one else - tries to warn that this isn’t a good idea, but the humans don’t listen. The mom is touched by this gesture, and, against her better judgement, agrees to hang ornaments on it - including a very old angel ornament that once belonged to her grandmother. Riley decides to fashion his/her own - out of beer cans salvaged from the trash, with sticks to serve as limbs. His/her parents have broken up and his/her mother says there’s not enough money for even a Christmas tree. Christmas is approaching and there’s not much joy for Riley (who can be anywhere from roughly 8-15). I also have several Christmas one-acts, including “The Fruitcake” (published by Brooklyn Publishers) and “Santa Claustrophobia” (published by Big Dog Plays) plus five unpublished one-acts that are available royalty-free: “The Angel Tree,” “The Girl Who Made Emus Believe They Could Fly on Christmas,” “Joy to Other Worlds,” “Let There Be Lights!” and “A Zombie Christmas.” I also have some Christmas-related scripts in the five minute or less range.Ī Christmas story that involves a talking cat, a talking mouse, an angel and a newly-single mom and her son/daughter. I have six full-length Christmas plays, all available royalty-free.
