Description: The Featherway family are gathered glumly in the drawing room in 1860 after their father's funeral. But as madeira is drunk, dressing-up boxes unearthed, songs sung, childhood memories re-discovered and the scandalous secrets of the will revealed, the gloom turns into what Coward described as 'a sly satire on Victorian hypocrisy'. 'Family Album' is a short play from the 'Tonight at 8.30' cycle, which was first produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.
