Written as a collaboration between 2 acclaimed playwrights--George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber--THE ROYAL FAMILY is a hysterical comedy about an eccentric family of stage actors. Set in the dramatic clan`s Manhattan apartment, the turmoil (and hijinx) start when the family`s matriarch, Fanny Cavendish, finds out that both her daughter and granddaughter may abandon the stage for a domestic homelife. Penned in 1927, this 50th anniversary production is one of the most acclaimed.
