Within The Law
East Lynne Theater Revives An Early Broadway Hit
By Gary Wien
The theme of this year’s season
at East Lynne Theater Company
in Cape May is “What is legal?”
That theme continues with Bayard
Veiller’s “Within The Law”. It’s
a play that was one of the most
popular on Broadway in the early
20th century but is rarely produced today. The plot involves
Mary Turner, a store clerk who is
wrongly convicted for stealing
and given a prison sentence to
make her an “example” to other
employees. While behind bars,
she learns how to be a real criminal. When her prison term is over,
she seeks revenge on those who
wronged her while staying within
the boundaries of the law.
