Family Album (1971)
Intro
A play by Noel Coward, performed at the Leeds Playhouse (opened 8 September 1971).
Overview
Family Album is a short comedy with music.
In 1860, the well-to-do Featherways assemble for the reading of their father's will. Respect for the deceased gives way to criticism of his life and character in this study of Victorian hypocrisy.
