He Ain't Done Right by Nell

by Wilbur Braun

June 15, 1987

Directed by Rick Thorness

An old-fashioned melodrama in one act. When Hilton Hays learns that Nell is a foundling and has no right to the Perkins name, he threatens to tell because Nell will not respond to his advances. Nell is too honest to marry the manly hero, Jack Logan, under the circumstances, so she dons her cape and prepares to roam the cruel world seeking a refuge for her broken heart. But wealthy Burkett Carleton has Hays arrested for stealing, and he discovers Nell is his long-lost granddaughter. The entire action of the play takes place in 'the sitting and dinin' room of the old Perkins homestead out in the Far West.
