Set in an English vicarage garden, Entertaining Angels follows Grace, a recently widowed clergy wife who is finally allowing herself to speak her mind after years of dutiful restraint. Her sharp wit and long‑suppressed frustrations often land on her long-suffering daughter Jo, a therapist, who sees more than Grace would like.

Grace’s world is further unsettled by the return of her free‑spirited missionary sister Ruth.  As old family patterns resurface and unexpected truths begin to press in, Grace is forced to re‑examine the life she built, the marriage she believed in, and the faith she’s trying to hold onto.

The play blends humour with emotional honesty, asking whether divine order exists at all or whether life is simply a messy, human attempt at meaning. It’s a warm, witty, and quietly provocative piece about grief, freedom, and the complicated grace we extend to ourselves and others.
