Angels in the Park

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Angels in the Park" was performed in the Ranelagh Gardens as part of the Ranelagh Arts Festival.  We managed to see two of these 10 minute short plays which were performed promenade style in the park.  All of the plays were written especially for the event by Peter Sheridan, Cathy Barry, </span><span style="background-color: white;
