The Bishop’s Candlesticks by Norman McKinnel is a powerful one-act play adapted from Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. This heartfelt story centers on a bishop who shows remarkable compassion and forgiveness toward Jean Valjean, a hardened convict who steals the bishop’s silver candlesticks. Instead of condemning Valjean, the bishop forgives him, offering the candlesticks as a gift and inspiring Valjean’s transformation. The play highlights themes of redemption, kindness, and the power of forgiveness, reminding us how one act of mercy can change a life forever.
