''[[Angels in Love]]'' is a comedy play by the British writer Hugh Mills (1913-1971).

==The original text==

Here is a mock Victorian romp in which Little Lord Fauntleroy, now twenty and married, causes him mother great concern by his apparent ignorance of the reasons for marriage. Ludicrous and farcical situations develop in the course of various genteel efforts to enlighten him, and these are supported by such diversions as his widowed mother's own bashful courtship; a mistaken identity, with its own disastrous repercussions; a pathetic Victorian recitation; poison in the wrong teacup; and the parlour maid's taste in naughty novels.

It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool in 1953. It later transferred to the Savoy Theatre in London's West End where it ran for 203 performances between 11 February and 17 August 1954.
