Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia

Opal Kronkie, a middle-aged lovable recluse, lives in a tumble-down mansion at the edge of the municipal dump. The general disarray of her establishment is aggravated by the fact that she collects things—anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. A trio of down and out con-artists think Opal needs plenty of insurance and a rapid demise. Her dilapidated residence is the perfect hideout and remedy for their shattered finances. Attempted murder wouldn't seem to be funny, but in Mr. Patrick's magic hands it is uproarious.
