Tonight's comedy is set in the ancestral home of the Brodies-Drumtern Castle. The laird, Archibald Brodie, with one wife dead, and the other having divorced him, is now dedicating his life to getting his two daughters married and off his hands, and the play opens as he is in the throes of arranging a colossal wedding reception.
But as everything he does tends to be on a gigantic scale, so everything tends to become gigantically involved, and the explosive laird ploughs his way through one complication into another. The situation is not helped, either, by the arrival - a month too early - of Brodie's cousin, a rollicking Irish canon.
