Summary: "The Convolvulus: A Comedy in Three Acts" by Allen Norton is a play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around various characters tangled in comedic misunderstandings and familial relationships, particularly focusing on Jane Gibbs, an adoptive mother, and her interactions with her supposed daughter Kathryn, among other characters. Through humorous dialogues, the play explores themes of identity, relationships, and the nature of family ties. The opening of the play introduces the character of Jane in her living room while she engages with her butler, Dill, and Jack, a young man who is depicted as self-assured and somewhat irreverent regarding familial expectations. As they discuss matters concerning Jack's absent father and the chaotic relationships surrounding them, comedic exchanges about marriage, identity, and social status ensue. The dialogue hints at deeper complications involving Jack’s missing father and reveals a patchwork of familial connections that promise both humor and tension as the story unfolds. The lively banter and witty repartee set the tone for a comedic exploration of relationships and the absurdities of social conventions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
