Comedy with Music
This afternoon's play, Family Album, is one of Noel Coward's brilliant short conversation pieces, set in a Victorian drawing-room in 1860.
With the aid of a decanter of Madeira, the family restores itself after the funeral of Papa. The atmosphere is one of decorous regret, but gradually the veneer of sorrow is stripped away. With a further decanter - and some charming songs in the best Coward manner - decorum diminishes and some surprising revelations are made. The plot, having thickened, becomes clear again, and all, including the tricky question of the Will, is settled satisfactorily.
Family Album appeared first in 1935, starring Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward. It was one of a set of nine one-act plays, which were performed in groups of three under the title of Tonight at 8.30. Two of the best known of the others are Red Peppers and Fumed Oak. In all of them the subject is delicately but ruthlessly dissected by the scalpel of Coward's wit. Family Album does for the Victorians what Red Peppers did for small-time Music-Hall and Fumed Oak for life in a London suburb.
