Brief synopsis of The Royal Family
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.
