About the show

My Wife's Family is a comedy play by the British-based American writer Fred Duprez based on an earlier story by Harry B. Linton and Hal Stephens. It premiered at the Princes Theatre, Bradford before transferring to the Garrick Theatre in London's West End where it ran for 118 performances between 3 March and 13 June 1931. The original West End cast included Ernie Lotinga, Arnold Bell, Hugh E. Wright and Joan Ingram. It was revived on a number of occasions and made into several films. A farce, the play's comedy revolves around a newly-married wife who overhears her husband talking about a Baby grand piano and mistakenly believes he has an illegitimate child.
