'It is Christmas Eve and, in tropical heat, Felix and Emillie Ducotel struggle to maintain a small shop, cope with the arrival of Felix's unpleasant cousin, Henri, and settle their lovely daughter (Marie-Louise) happily.
'Three convicts–two murderers and an embezzler–who are repairing the roof of the Ducotels' shop, decide that, as a Christmas gift to the family, they will set everyone's problems to rights–financial problems as well as emotional problems.
'Their gift, and their methods, are unconventional and provide much of the play's humour.'
