Family Album (play)

Family Album, described as "a Victorian comedy with music", is a short comic play in one scene by Noël Coward. It is one of ten short plays that make up Tonight at 8.30, a cycle written to be performed in groups of three plays across three evenings. The original production, starring Coward and Gertrude Lawrence played in a pre-London tour, and then the West End, and finally New York, in 1935–1937. Family Album has been revived periodically and has been adapted for television.

The play depicts a prosperous middle-class Victorian family gathered after the funeral of their father. It emerges that he was a man of bad character, who wanted to deprive his children of their inheritance, but they have the last laugh.
