Summary "A Christmas Tale: in One Act" by Maurice Bouchor is a one-act play likely written during the late 19th century. Set in the 15th century, this drama revolves around the themes of love, redemption, and the spirit of Christmas, illustrating how a moment of divine intervention can change the course of human lives. The play features Pierre Coeur, a sculptor struggling with alcoholism, who neglects his family, including his wife Jacqueline and their sleeping daughter Rosette. On Christmas Eve, as Jacqueline forlornly waits for Pierre's return from a night of drinking, the figures of Saint Nicholas and Saint Rose come to life, intent on saving the family from despair. Through their guidance and the gifts they bring, Pierre realizes the pain his actions have caused, pledges to change, and reconciles with Jacqueline, bringing warmth and joy back to their home just in time for Christmas morning. The work beautifully captures the magic of the season and the importance of family connections. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
