Play Synopsis:
Dividing the Estate is the story of the Gordon clan, a Texas family who has
been hard hit by the precipitous drop in oil prices in 1987. Family matriarch
Stella rules over the family, but she is 85 years old, and her family smells
their inheritance coming. Her younger daughter, Mary Jo, comes to visit for the
day along with her husband, and their two daughters, prompting a family
get-together. Mary Jo is deeply in debt and wants to divide the estate before
her mother dies. Various members of the family, including the servants, take
sides in the debate, and wonder how much, if anything, there actually is to
inherit. The family bickers as only a Southern family can, mentioning every
slight and insult that has occurred over the past 80 years.
