A two-act comedy of manners by the authors of Billy Liar. In the first act we watch preparations being made for a wedding, and in the second – six months later – the same family members gather for a repast following Uncle Arthur's funeral. Transferred to the Duchess Theatre, in the West End, on June 8, 1961, after its premiere at the Nottingham Playhouse in a production directed by its artistic director, Val May.
