Synopsis
Based on a real school incident – written from the viewpoint of the gargoyles perched in the architecture of a local church – Gargoyles is the story of a high school drama group forbidden from performing an innocuous Halloween comedy because of superstitious beliefs and the resulting outpouring of community love which conquers fears.
