Gift of the Magi
Based On The Short Story By O. Henry Author(s):
Thomas Hischak
O. Henry's holiday favorite is recreated in this touching stage adaptation. Jim and Della are newlyweds with their whole lives before them. Both have vivid imaginations and tell fantastic stories, creating a storybook world for themselves. But then hard times come. Christmas approaches with little money at hand. Jim and Della each end up selling their most valuable possessions in order to buy the other's Christmas present. The ironic O. Henry ending is both humorous and bittersweet as both characters discover a more realistic world-one dominated by their love.
