Sailor Beware!

Written by Phillip King and Falkland Cary
Directed by Phillip Ley
Presented by Tower Theatre Company

Sailor, Beware! was a triumph when it was first performed. The action takes place in an unnamed small town.

The fearsome Emma Hornett is the central character, and her niece Daphne clearly believes that people like Emma “get their happiness – making everybody’s life a hell.” Emma Horneett is not amused when her precious daughter, Shirley, chooses orphan sailor Albert Tufnell as a prospective husband.

Further complications arise for Albert when Shirley suspect him of having a flirtation with her bridesmaid. For the first time poor Albert becomes aware that there is a good deal of her mother in his bride.

Sparks fly and worms turn as they battle it out in this classic comedy!
