"A rich, poetic evocation of a graceful yet cruel time - a time when "civilized" citizens still bought and sold slaves. This is a time when the thoughts and feelings of these captive people had no bearing on the outcome of their lives, unless they were outraged and brave enough to try and shake their bonds. Angelique is the winner of the du Maurier National Playwriting Competition and was nominated Outstanding New Play in Calgary's Betty Mitchell Awards, 1998."--BOOK JACKET.
