White Sheep of the Family - Spring 1959
Spring 1959
Location: Cordes Hall, Sunninghill, SL5 9NE
Directed by: Carol Burrows and James Matthews
Written by: L du Garde Peach & Ian Hay
An impious comedy about a family of well-to-do crooks who are shocked when the son, an excellent forger, quits the fold to go straight. The reason is not long hidden: he has met a girl. He takes a job in a bank (his forged references are excellent). The family makes every effort to get him back into his ancestral profession, to no avail, until it is discovered that his fiancée, the daughter of a Scotland Yard inspector, is a first-class safe-breaker. The white sheep is happy to reenter the fold, and the family welcomes their talented new daughter-in-law.
