ABOUT THE SHOW: A staged reading, Within the Law is based on the 1913 play by Bayard Veiller and is being given a fresh adaptation by actor and playwright Joshua Jèrard, with additional edits by Trista Duval. Listen well, as a young shop girl does her job well, believing in kindness and integrity – until one day she is framed and arrested for theft. Sentenced to prison on the insistence of her politically influential boss, she vows to repay the men and the system who have ruined her life.
