Play by the late American author William Saroyan.

"The Beautiful People refuse to play by the rules of a wicked world, steadfastly preserving their enchanted and - at times illegal - innocence, by any means necessary.

A philosophical father, a one-word boy novelist, and blessed Saint Agnes of the Mice battle the breaking of dreams, accompanied by a ghostly cornet player, a nostalgic clerk, an octogenarian drunk, a drunken priest, an almost-mother, and several literate vermin."
