Three convicts are employed as roofers by a family, whose roof is in desperate need of maintenance.

10 roles
An honest man, kind to a fault, who has no guile and is easily pushed around. He is very formal, and insists on wearing a business suit in the tropical heat for propriety’s sake. Married to Emilie, father to Marie Louise.
Felix’s wife. Marie Louise’s mother. The glue of the family, frustrated by her husband but still very much in love with him. She is the anchor of the family and really ought to be running the shop.
Daughter of Felix and Emilie. A young girl in all regards, she tends towards the dramatic, but she has a good heart. Madly in (and out of) love with Paul.
An overbearing patron of the shop, talkative and verging on the uncouth. She does not care to pay her tab at the shop.
Convict #3011. A natural-born salesman, he could sell ice to penguins. Imaginative and a smooth-talker. Loves selling and making deals.
Convict #6817. A romantic soul, he is perhaps the most “normal” of the convicts. He loves creature comforts and does his best to make the Ducotel’s Christmas a happy one.
Convict #4707 – The youngest and most immature of the convicts, he’s the muscle of the crew, and easily the most dangerous. He keeps a pet snake, and he has an eye for Marie Louise.
Felix’s cousin by marriage. A man with little kindness in his heart, he sees everything, including love, in terms of profit margin.
Henri’s son. In love with Marie Louise, but unwilling to cross his father over the matter. At the end of the day, he is much more like his father than he realizes.
A handsome naval officer with a letter of introduction to Felix. Tired after a long night’s work. (Basically a walk-on role at the end of the play.)
