Synopsis
Similar to nearly all his plays, The Jewel in Papa's Crown is in the E.P. Conkle tradition of folk drama. With the same insight that has made his No Time for Heaven an important and poignant work, Conkle develops the theme of love versus greed in this gem of a short play. The five daughters of Wardour Grassmere, deceased, have gathered to hear the lawyer read their father's will. Full of greedy anticipation, each is afraid that the others will receive more than their share of his estate. Over in
