Three Rings For Michelle
Author(s):
Patricia Joudry
Maud's husband left her long ago and died in some far-off place. She shares a barren, loveless home with her son, Joe. Maud and Joe can't reach each other except to inflict pain. She nags Joe for his uselessness and for the emptiness which has opened up between them. Joe retreats behind his books, and into dreams. Lucinda is married to Maud's brother, and has son, Eddie, who is a successful and unprincipled lawyer. She calls on Maud and Joe each week. Between these two there is also a sense of alienation made greater by Eddie's refusal to talk to his father, who is in prison. Into their midst comes Michelle. She is a gentle, other-worldly orphan, who calls Maud's long-lost husband "father," and believes that she has finally found her true home and family. Michelle has two rings--one from her mother and one from her father. She seeks a third ring-from a friend. How she finds this, and how she brings hope to people who had known only despair is the real story, and meaning of the play. The lesson it teaches is warm with truth and understanding, and the way in which it is put forth constitutes an affecting and unique experience.
