Balm of
Angels
An old Irish proverb says: “Forgiveness is the balm of angels.” Playwright Oliver Courtland and his director son, Rye, have been living together on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for years since his wife and Rye’s mother, actress Lydia Hammond, left them decades before and returned to her native England. Lydia subsequently married Oliver’s former writing partner, Alvin Spiegel. For the first time, Oliver and Rye together are working on a new Broadway production. Having great difficulty casting the female lead, neither dares suggest the perfect choice — Lydia — a name neither has spoken aloud in 45 years.
Journeying back and forth in time and two continents, Balm of Angels is a moving and often hilarious story of estrangement, reconciliation, and the perpetual minefields of love.
Charles Dennis’ visionary storytelling won him several accolades and critical acclaim. 2022 celebrated Charles Dennis personally as he clinched the Best Actor award for his role in the dramatic feature, “King Solomon’s Treasure.” The accolades continued to cascade, with his 2023 endeavor, “Deadly Draw,” earning the prestigious Audience Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Cast at the Riverside International Film Festival. Ulrika Vingsbo, Dennis’ better-half, won Best Actress for Deadly Draw at the Vegas Movie Awards.
