Divided Among Themselves starts when four sisters congregate in their father's rent-controlled apartment for what they think will be the reading of their father's will. 

>Instead of giving finality, however, the father's instructions require the women to work together to create their own resolution. 

Limited by time and history, the sisters struggle to reach a consensus.  Each has led her life in a different way, and, while negotiating, their philosophies diverge, clash, and change.

As the eldest sister Alan (a rabbi) tries to hold the family together, the second eldest Clark (a real estate developer) is out to destroy.  The decision hangs in the balance of the two youngest sisters:  Johnna, a seriously-in-debt tennis pro; and Felicity, an out-of-mainstream spiritualist. As the grandfather clock proceeds to the fatal hour, it is Johnna who takes action that will change the course of the world as they all know it. 

Divided Among Themselves is a 75-minute, four-character drama that reflects and explores the differing views in America toward money, charity, and self-reliance.  The play takes place in a living room of a three-bedroom apartment (post World War II) in New York City.  The set may be as elaborate or simple as the producer and/or director allow.   All four characters are female despite their masculine-sounding names.
