Clara's Play by John Olive 

Clara, an aging spinster lives alone in a remote farmhouse, the last surviving member of one of the area's most prominent families.  It is summer, 1915.  Enter an immigrant, feisty soul named Sverre looking for a days' work before moving on.  But Clara's farm needs more than just a few days' work,  and Sverre stays on to help Clara fix up and run the farm.  It soon becomes clear that unscrupulous local businessmen are bilking Clara out of money and hope to gain control of her property.  Sverre agrees to stay on to help Clara keep her family's propety.
